Last month, Newark Arts announced that the first phase of the Four Corners Public Arts project is finished, bringing 14 new murals to the Brick City. The project is an ongoing collaboration between the city via Invest Newark, the Newark Downtown District (NDD), Newark Arts and property owners RBH Group and Paramount Assets.

Since the project began, previously stark alleyways on Treat Place and Beaver Street have been transformed with vibrant, welcoming art painted on building facades and sidewalks. The eye-catching artwork uses the city itself as a backdrop, drawing inspiration from its past.
