Students Paint Cedar Beach Tunnel With Custom Art: View It Here

BABYLON, NY—Move over Gilgo Beach: now the Cedar Beach pedestrian tunnel has a bright, custom-art filled walkway, too.

A project called "Babylon Together" brought students from Amityville, Babylon, Deer Park, North Babylon and West Babylon together to design and execute a new mural in the tunnel connecting Cedar Beach to Cedar Beach Marina in the Town of Babylon.

The project was facilitated by Babylon Township, Babylon Citizens Council on the Arts (BACCA) and the Town of Babylon Local Development Corporation (LDC.)

The mural has a nautical theme and shows beach and local-sights in a series of vignettes. Check it out here.

“On behalf of BACCA, we are grateful for the opportunity to work with the Town of Babylon and artist Ron Becker to provide a wonderful opportunity to high school artists to showcase their talent in this collaborative effort. This mural has brought together students from across the community and will serve as a backdrop for all who enjoy Cedar Beach,” BACCA Executive Director Liz Mirarchi said in a statement.

A second mural is planned for the other side of the tunnel, incorporating more Town of Babylon districts, in the spring.
