Sea Walls Mural

In 2019, Baldwin High School was fortunate to be selected as a project site for murals of the “Sea Walls Maui — Mauka to Makai” project by the PangeaSeed Foundation and Small Town - Big Art. The project was coordinated by Maui-born artis Matt Agcolicol. The projects goal was to “catalyze positive change” for the oceans in the local community and visitors to connect non-coastal towns, such as Wailuku, to the sea.

Artists donated their time were made up of at least seven from Maui or with Maui ties, along with a handful from Oahu and other countries such as Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.

The large-scale works by invited artists will act as educational tools and conversation starters. Issues the mural project included plastic pollution, ocean acidification, overfishing and sustainable traditional practices.

Other mural sites included the Vineyard Street side wall of Maui Sporting Goods, Fiesta Time along Lower Main Street and Jace & Kim Collision Specialists along Mill Street.

The PangeaSeed foundation is an international nonprofit that has created 300 murals in 14 countries with a roster of more than 250 professional artists. Maui Redevelopment Agency, the county Office of Economic Development, Pacific Whale Foundation along with other local and national organizations have partnered to fund the project.
