In the spirit of the 2008 Olympic Games, student artists from around the world will join internationally renowned marine life artist Wyland in Beijing from, July 7 - 21, 2008, for an unprecedented global art project celebrating the world’s waters and the future of international cooperation. The epic mural will span nearly two miles - with more than 205, 45-foot canvasses representing United Nations and Olympic member countries - and will be a collaboration in every sense of the word. Wyland and the young artists will collaborate to paint the world’s aquatic habitats and the animals that live within. From manatees and sea turtles to bald eagles and beavers, young artists will paint alongside Wyland to portray the wildlife of their home country. The two-mile long mural will represent the connectedness of the planet’s water and the tremendous impact that each of us can have on our waterways and the diversity of life they contain. The project will be the culmination of the artist’s thirty-year goal of creating one hundred monumental Whaling Walls murals around the world.
