The work of 14 ethnically and racially diverse male and female artists is featured on the station’s 48,000 square foot, 30-foot-high decorative wall. Six of the artists are local to Newark, while the rest hail from as far away as Jamaica and Venezuela. The creative pieces explore themes of youth, education, history and community culture.
