BAYC Mural in LA
BAYC #5273 appears as an eye-catching mural on the wall of a building in Los Angeles.
South Central Los Angeles - Kiki (aka Bored Ape Yacht Club #5273), a Bored Ape with bright pink hair, appears as an eye-catching mural on the wall of a building in Los Angeles.
Just off Washington Boulevard, the mural was a collaboration between popular street artists Rich Uno/NASA Crew and Kiki’s owner, @TopShotSwickie, who has expanded BAYC ownership into an extension of her personal brand. Since purchasing the NFT, Swickie has developed a backstory for Kiki and arranged multiple irl appearances— the ape has appeared in galleries across the world and even a merch collaboration with Crooks n Castles’ Dee Calvero.

On display was a series featuring the work of 12 notable artists, rotating on a series of bright, high-definition screens. The same pieces were also combined into an exclusive NFT that was airdropped to attendees, with an animated version on the way to Coinbase later in the year. Art and Artists included: Betty/Deadfellaz, Elise Swopes, Boss Beauties, Domino, MarktheHabibi, Kideight, Emonee LaRussa, Jeff Manning, Giant Swan, MikeGrillMadeIt, Alida Sun, and Mr. Goldie.
The popular space off the main floor allowed attendees a spot to chill and conversate while viewing the art, and also included a 'make-your-own Rolling Stone cover' photo booth, an open bar and a Coinbase desk offering information and custom merch.
