The World is Yours by Noah Sparks

Artist Noah Sparks came to Braddock to participate in Points of Interest, a program created by the artist Swoon to improve 15 different locations in town in one week with art. On this long wall next to a community garden, Mr Sparks did a very different sort of mural. It's not totally abstract and it's not totally real, but it seems to be a melding of the two. The shapes or silhouettes of people doing all sorts of activities are filled with varying geometric patterns. Perhaps his version of multi–cultural? That’s only a guess, but what it definitely is, is interesting and different. The message is optimistic and hopeful for the struggling community: The World is Yours.

Part of the Points of Interest project, this incredible display of assorted birds is hidden in a corner by an underpass in North Braddock. Although we know that the artists that participated in the Points of Interest project were only here temporarily, we keep hoping to find additions to this mural. It's full title is: North Braddock Aviary Hall of Male Birds in Courtship Plumage.
