The artists are students of Manhattan Community Board 7 and the Grosvernor House. Scenes include the 72nd Street station, medians on Broadway, FDNY, kids at play, the Ida Straus memorial in Straus Park, boats at the 79th Street Boat Basin, the New York Buddhist Church street vendors, and a New York City Bus. A poem entitled West Side Views by student Pedro Pieti is also featured.
