We hope this finds you well and enjoying a lovely September. Here is an update with some nice fall action from the AHA realms regarding The Welling Court Mural Project.

Ad Hoc Art is thrilled to have the WCMP be a featured part of the 2014 Open House New York Weekend, happening Saturday and Sunday, October 11th and 12th. 3 tours of the project will be giving per day by Ad Hoc Art along with the neighborhood residents that helped envision the project and artists that help make it all manifest. A new OHNY mural at Welling Court designed and painted by Chris Stain & Garrison Buxton will be the cover for the 12th Annual OHNY Weekend Guide, coming out with the October 2nd issue of Time Out New York. Stain has been with the Ad Hoc family since the old days and it was a treat to have his creativity and vision on board this project.

“Inside every one of us is a garden, and every practitioner has to go back to their garden and take care of it. Maybe in the past, you left it untended for a long time. You should know exactly what is going on in your own garden, and try to put everything in order. Restore the beauty; restore the harmony in your garden. If it is well tended, many people will enjoy your garden.” – Thich Nhat Hanh
