Source: News 12


The city of Newark unveiled a new mural that highlights local women and their essential role.

The newly completed "The Golden Life" mural has transformed the intersection of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Route 280 off-ramp. The piece highlights women, from babies to elders, who live in the neighborhoods near the intersection.

Newark based artists Rachel Fawn Alban and Armisey Smith worked for over a year putting together the mural. They hosted a free artmaking workshop at the Newark Public Library in the spring of 2023 that invited women and girls of all ages to participate in the creation of the piece.
