the
building’s east wall underwent repairs earlier this year, and

AKG
Unveils Tallest Mural to Date, First on Public Housing
Development Today, the Buffalo AKG Art Museum formally unveiled a
new
mural on the southeast façade of Lyndon B. Johnson Apartments
(LBJ) at 167
Humboldt Parkway, a Buffalo Municipal Housing Authority (BMHA)
public housing
development that primarily houses elderly and disabled
residents. The mural by
Canadian artist Aaron Li-Hill is both the tallest to
date by the Buffalo AKG’s
groundbreaking Public Art Initiative and the first project it
has produced in
collaboration with the BMHA and its residents.
