During these past few months, the murals along East 125 Street and its surrounding blocks continued to beautify East Harlem with intrigue and charm. The homage to the late Harlem-born artist Faith Ringgold — featured above — was painted by NYC-based, New Jersey-bred artist Anna Lustberg.

What follows is a selection of images captured in our continued 2025 documentation of Uptown Grand Central:

On my most recent visit to this year’s Grandscale Mural Project in East Harlem, I came upon dozens of more alluring murals that have recently surfaced. The mural featured above was painted by Mas Paz and Guache, two Colombia-born multidisciplinary artists. Several more images representative of the extraordinary range of mural art gracing East Harlem in the vicinity of 125th Street follow:
