On June 4th, Queen Andrea's colorfully vibrant mural was completed. The impressive piece occupies the historic Houston Bowery's Wall and it is centered around paying homeage to the [cultural diversity in New York City](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reflecting-diverseness).

The creative activation is made possible thanks to a collaboration between Goldman Properties and Goldman Global Arts. The mural is aptly titled 'Believe.' Queen Andrea's artist's statement reveals the contextual motivation of the work — it is vastly centered toward providing a positive outlook to the community through celebrating diversity, love and the "vibrancy of urban life." Along with the mural, Queen Andrea also provides [50 limited edition prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limitededition-print-series) of the mural that are available for purchase on the [Bowery Wall's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bien-mal-x-electric-bowery) online shop. One of these exclusive artworks retails for $200 USD.

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Diversity-celebrating Murals:** The creation of murals that celebrate diversity is a trend in the art world, creating opportunities for artists to celebrate and bring awareness to different communities.
- **Limited Edition Prints for Mural Art:** Offering limited edition prints of mural art creates a market for affordable versions of highly sought-after works and expands the reach of the artist's work.
- **Positive Community Activations:** Creative activations centered on positivity and community-building are becoming increasingly popular, providing an opportunity for artists and brands to create meaningful connections with audiences.

### Sectors Adopting This

- **Visual Arts:** The creation and sale of murals and limited edition prints provide opportunities for artists in the visual arts industry to expand their reach and make their work more accessible to a wider audience.
- **Real Estate:** Murals and creative activations can add value to real estate properties, making them more attractive to potential buyers or tenants.
- **Online Retail:** Offering limited edition prints of murals and other artworks for sale online creates a new market for artists and provides consumers with affordable options for purchasing highly sought-after works.
