Join us to walk and talk the murals of the Grandscale Mural Project, more than 100 pieces of public art that together create a vibrant gateway to Harlem on the three blocks adjacent to the Harlem-125th Street Metro-North station and busy Lexington Avenue 4/5/6 subway line. Painted on more than half a mile of construction fencing by artists with ties to Harlem, Washington Heights and the Bronx, each mural was designed with the goal of supporting and uplifting passersby, and in turn has generated an outdoor art gallery that’s accessible to everyone. Get the story behind each piece and the politics behind using a construction fence as canvas. Plus meet up along the way with some of the amazing artists involved.
