"HARMFUL ALGAE BLOOMS"

by IBOMS

"Did you know harmful algae blooms have tripled since 1984, closing beaches, causing people illnesses, and killing marine life?" In 2020, for year six of St Pete's Shine Mural Festival, @StPeteArtsAlliance partnered with  @PangeaSeed Foundation and produced a special Sea Walls: Artists for Oceans edition. For his contribution on the west wall of the Grand Central Brewhouse Jabari Reed-Diop, aka IBOMS, depicted the harmful impact of red tides in a way that also stays true to his artistic style.

LOCATION: 2340 Central Ave, St. Petersburg, FL 33712
