In collaboration with artists Yana Dimitrova and Olivia Fu, 16 youth muralists created a new mural for the exterior of the High School for Arts and Business that speaks both to the importance of livable streets and the multiple roads leading to success for New York City youth. Yield in the Name of Creativity visually combines the idea of safe streets, especially around a public school, with an illustration of lifes many pathways to success. The design includes winding roads and an eye watching over the dangerous intersection where the mural is located. Also featured in the mural are two children who represent the dual business and arts focuses of the high school.
