Merrell Turned Union Square Into a New Kind of Outdoor Space

New York City is encouraging people to enjoy the outdoors with a large public art installation. Artist Shantell Martin created a massive “Get Outside” mural across Union Square’s 14th Street Busway. Painted by Colossal as part of the neighborhood’s yearly art program, the 7,500-square-foot artwork brightens a busy intersection and encourages people to pause, relax, and appreciate the city.
