New colorful murals unveiled in Coney Island
They beautify both Amusement District, Mermaid Ave.
The Alliance for Coney Island has unveiled four new murals in the latest phase of its mural initiative.
Spanning both the amusement district and Mermaid Avenue commercial corridor, the latest mural project, Coney Island for Everyone, helps beautify the neighborhood and create what amounts to a public art gallery.
This phase of the project features four artists: Egypt Hagan, Ledania, Mark Garcia and Mike Long.

The murals can be found at the following locations:
