This 213-foot-long permanent mosaic wall at the Jacob H. Schiff Park in Harlem is one of CITYarts’ most recognizable projects due to its scale and international scope.

The mosaic project was an integral part of CITYarts’ first international youth-led initiative, CITYarts Pieces for Peace. Launched in 2004, CITYarts Pieces for Peace enables youth ages 12 to 20 from the US and around the world to share their visions for a more peaceful future and to translate those ideas into personal works of art.

Representative images and poems were incorporated into the design of the Jacob H. Schiff Park mosaic wall, under the artistic direction of the award-winning children’s illustrator and artist Peter Sís.
