“Equilibrium” by ASVP (coutesy of Stephen Donofrio)

Intermediate School 318 (101 Walton St.) is now hosting a large-scale mural by street artistsĀ ASVP spanning five stories and featuring balancing endangered species to start a conversation about the earth’s sustainability.

The mural, entitledĀ “Equilibrium,” was one of two murals painted at the school last summerĀ as part of #THEPOINTNYC, a Climate Week NYC project produced by Greenpoint InnovationsĀ in partnership with Comics Uniting Nations, Hypokrit Theatre Company, Rattlestick Playwrights Theater and the United Nations Childrenā€™s Fund.

Vintage clothing retailer Walk the West (150 Franklin St.) is currently displaying a large framed print of “Equilibrium” that is for sale and the store is helping to sell the smaller signed 15″ X 20″ prints. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the prints will go toward the parent-teacher association of IS318. The limited edition signed 15″ X 20″ prints can also be purchased online.

ā€œWe hope that in addition to raising money for the school, these prints will help us continue raising awareness about human-driven climate change and the urgency for all people, particularly the youth, to take action,ā€ said Stephen Donofrio, founder of Greenpoint Innovations. ā€œWeā€™re grateful to ASVP for their support, talent, and ongoing generosity with this project.ā€
