Stocks Are Rising Mural
Buffalo, United States
Stocks Are Rising Mural was created by Team Razor Wire artists Nicholas C Miller & Christopher M Kameck who partnered with the Bailey Avenue Business Association and University District Community Development Association on this piece of public art as part of a broader initiative called Bailey Fights Blight. During a community brainstorming session to develop the design of the mural, members of the Stockbridge Avenue Block Club attended one of the meetings and shared the phrase “stocks are rising” as a motto for the street. This would ultimately become the inspiration behind the mural, which is composed of an upwardly darting gold and copper line set against a vibrant green background. The design, which carries across three sides of the building, is meant to give the viewer a sense of being uplifted.
