(517 E Jericho Turnpike, Huntington Station, NY 11746, October 1st-31st) Andaluz the Artist has teamed up with Natural Remedies to bring the town of Huntington a “Save the Amazon” mural, on the side of Natural Remedies storefront, that will not only beautify the town but help conserve the Amazon Rainforest. Andaluz will start working on the mural on Thursday October 3rd and should have it finished by Wednesday October 10th. The process will be documented and posted on all of Andaluz the Artist social media pages and website www.andaluztheartist.com. For the entire month of October Natural Remedies will be a donation hub for Rainforest Trust.

The Mural will be painted by Huntington’s own local artist, Andaluz The Artist. It will be located at Natural Remedies 517 E Jericho Turnpike, Huntington Station, NY 11746. The main focus of this piece will be one of Amazon’s most majestic birds that is in extreme danger of being extinct, the Blue Macaw.
