A Children’s Garden is a large-scale public artwork, a 450ft long vinyl mural, created through a series of children’s art workshops at Wet Paint Art Studio, an artist-run studio founded in  Tribeca in 1993. Through hands-on workshops, students ages 5–15 work closely with the artist Mauricio Cortes Ortega to create drawings and paintings of resilient, native flowers—such as milkweed, coneflower, goldenrod, black-eyed Susan, and bee balm—that thrive in New York City’s urban landscape and symbolize endurance, care, and regeneration. Individual artworks are then collaged together into a sweeping, cohesive visual composition that forms a 400-foot-long mural along the Battery Park City waterfront. Rooted in Wet Paint’s history as a place of refuge and healing for children after 9/11, the project centers collaborative artmaking as a model of environmental stewardship and collective care, transforming public space into an intergenerational garden shaped by the creativity, voices, and resilience of young artists.
