Our Jane’s Walk on Harlem’s famous 125th St will visit 7+ large-scale murals created over the last 20 years. We will explore these very different works of art developed by Creative Art Works and its youth apprentices. Topics will include the mural-making process, subject content and technique, and personal narratives of the artists and other stakeholders. CAW has developed hundreds of celebrated murals around the City in iconic places, e.g. Rockefeller Center and Citicorp Center; we will stop along our Walk route to discuss these stunning 7 very relevant murals, among others, at retailers Whole Foods, Trader Joes and Shack Shack and on walls controlled by Harlem Community Development Corp and DOT. We will delve into placemaking and how public art can activate, influence culture and brand spaces.
