Bayview Townhomes, one of the most diverse communities in Madison, is now also home to a massive mural that features ideas and actual bits of painting from 120 of those tenants.
The artwork is titled “Hope Finds a Home” and is on the Regent Street-facing side of a new apartment building at 720 W. Washington Ave. It's the first in a series of public art projects that will be featured at Bayview Townhomes across from Brittingham Park on Madison’s south side.

The zoo had already been in talks with the Bayview Foundation, a nonprofit organization that owns and operates an affordable housing development a little over a mile away.
