NYC - Brooklyn - Williamsburg: Ashes to Ashes

Ashes to Ashes, located at the corner of Berry Street and South 4th Street, was designed and painted by El Puente's muralistas, a group of young artists directed by El Puente Artist Joe Matunis. The mural, funded by the NY State Office of Alcohol and Substance Abuse Service, the United Way, the NY State Council on the Arts, and the Center for Arts Education, was painted in 2000 and depicts the dangers of smoking and reveals the tobacco industry’s focus on recruiting young smokers in communities of color.
