Sea Walls St. Thomas

We are excited to be returning to the U.S. Virgin Islands. Following our 2019 project on St. Croix, this will be the second Sea Walls activation to take place in the Territory.

In February 2023, we will create 10+ ocean advocacy murals and host various public events to increase interest and engagement in marine stewardship.

Beyond the curation of purposeful, ocean-themed environmental public art, Sea Walls St. Thomas will feature weeklong public programming designed to help facilitate an ongoing
relationship between the St. Thomas community, the murals, and their environment. Activities
such as youth outreach, beach cleanups, mural walking tours, and a film screening will
make it a well-rounded experience for all ages.

More About Sea Walls St. Thomas

The project is being curated with the expert advice of team members Howard Forbes and Jarvon Stout from the University of the Virgin Islands to ensure relevancy to the local community and context.

Issues addressed by the murals will include the proliferation of sargassum, plastic pollution, ocean acidification, warming seas, local biodiversity loss, environmental justice, and more.

Leatherback Brewing Company will act as the project’s headquarters, where residents and visitors can pick up mural walking maps, obtain more information on the event, and take part in public programming.
