Until recently, The Ark of Extinction has focused on large-scale murals, bringing wildlife into public spaces through artworks that invite people to stop, look and talk. Artist Marc Craig will continue creating these bigger pieces, while now concentrating on smaller indoor murals in cafés, libraries, schools and community centres—making it easier to bring The Ark into more places.

Working indoors makes the murals simpler to organise and creates more opportunities to connect with the people who use each space. Marc is offering these murals free to suitable venues, choosing animals with a connection to the community and a conservation story to share. Alongside the artwork, there is scope for workshops, community participation and collaboration with conservation groups, helping each mural become the beginning of an ongoing conversation.

To sustain the project, Marc transforms completed murals into digital artworks available to buy as prints. These sales help fund his work and future community murals, allowing each animal’s story to travel beyond its original wall.
