It might not feel like it yet, but fall has officially begun—which means that there are several new temporary public art installations enlivening the urban landscape with abstract pieces, selfie-worthy moments, and more.

8. “Uptown GrandScale Mural”
Organized by nonprofit Uptown Grand Central, 50 local artists came together to paint 1,500 feet of construction panels along East 125th Street, the area near Harlem’s Metro-North station. Artists who participated—including Shiro, Marthalicia, and TooFly—were given between 32 and 96 feet of fencing area to paint. “We have learned the power of public art to both uplift the neighborhood and inspire hopes for the future,” Carey King, director of Uptown Grand Central, said in a statement about the collaborative project, which took place during three weekends in September.
