NYC is teaming with yellow cabs painted with flowers, part of the "Garden in Transit" project started last month.
From gardenintransit.org, this project merges "the best of healing arts with public art, thousands of participants at hospitals, schools, and community institutions will paint vibrant flowers - symbolizing life, beauty, hope, joy, inspiration and healing - on weatherproof panels that will be placed upon the rooftops, hoods, and trunks of taxis; creating a magnificent "Garden in Transit""
Over 23,000 people, mostly children have participated.
The project was started by Portraits of Hope, a non-profit believes self-esteem can be built by participating in creative projects. (I totally agree.)
It's very cool to see a public art project of this scale.
