The Water Tank Project is a New York City public art installation in which 100 artists were given the opportunity to transform iconic water towers sitting high above the city into works of art to draw attention to global water shortages...
Launched during America's summer 2014, The Water Tank Project aims to transform the New York City skyline.
Artwork by acclaimed artists and New York City public school students are wrapped around rooftop water tanks throughout the city, celebrating the talents of established and emerging artists, and calling attention to the global water crisis.
The Water Tank Project is part art exhibition, part awareness campaign. For the duration of the project, art above will be complemented by action on the ground through educational programs, public tours, social media activities and a symposium dedicated to inspiring fresh views on global water issues.
"We are creating symbols of water abundance and raising awareness about our global water issue, one tank at a time," explains Jordan, founder and creative director of the initiative. "My hope is that everyone everywhere is inspired by the project, and is encouraged to learn how they can make a difference."
