The Newark Artist Collaboration installations are rolling out across our Newark neighborhood, and we're excited that local artist Yasmin De Jesus recently completed a large-scale mural in our newly renovated headquarters lobby as part of the initiative. In this mural, the figures listen, through headphones, to Newark voices and the words they hear surround them, encouraging those viewing the mural to connect with others through storytelling.
