"The Many Faces and Personalities of New York" Mural Unveiled

The Blumenfeld Development Group (BDG) unveiled "The Many Faces and Personalities of New York" mural, a celebration of the Harlem community on the façade of the East River Plaza garage.

The installation by Nationally Renown Pop Artist, Victor Garcia, depicts faces, symbols, and sayings that make up the Harlem community as well as New York City as a whole.
As part of the festivities, Mr. Garcia held an art clinic with students from the local East Harlem Community School District #4, where they painted Garcia-style art on a canvas.

"It's an honor to have an elite artist such as Victor be able to display his craft on one of our premier properties," said David Blumenfeld, Principle, Blumenfeld Development Group. We are delighted that he is able to bring home the feel of the Harlem community in such a distinct way."
"I was truly excited and honored when David contacted me about painting the mural," said Garcia." It is with great pride that I can portray a community and its culture through a very unique form of art."

"The Many Faces and Personalities of New York" is the first mural of an art series featured at the East River Plaza.
