PHOTOS: New Art Exhibit Transforms Prospect Park Bandshell

PROSPECT PARK, BROOKLYN — A colorful mural offering hope for the future has transformed the bandshell in Prospect Park.

The piece, created by artist Emily Oliveira, was added to the Lena Horne Bandshell earlier this month and will be on display through next May.

The 19-foot by 28-foot mural features humans, insects, goddesses and other beings joining to dismantle a brick wall as a symbol of rebirth for the post-COVID era, according to the organization. It is fully titled "We Are At a Moment That Will Be Remembered as the Beginning of the Great Change, For Who Can Say When a Wall Is Ready To Come Down."

The art piece is put in place by BRIC, the Alliance and the city's Parks Department.
