Hundreds of young people are helping paint a 180-foot mural at 698 Amsterdam Avenue, near 94th street, as part of a project put on by nonprofit CityArts.

“Roughly 200 students, who are 7 to 20 years old and hail mostly from Harlem and the Bronx, began working on the mural nearly two months ago,” reports the Daily News.

“The mural is about the seasons of their life and portraits of themselves as well,” said Tsipi Ben-Haim, executive and creative director of CITYarts, which teamed up with the West Side Neighborhood Commons on the project. “When kids create they don’t destroy.”

It should be complete by the end of October.

Check out the Daily News and HarlemWorld for more photos.
