“Highland Park has an active, thriving arts community and public art, which can be viewed and appreciated by all residents, is a staple of our art scene,” said Gayle Brill Mittler, Mayor of Highland Park. “The annual Windows of Understanding public art project is a wonderful collaboration between Highland Park, New Brunswick, and the Mason Gross School of the Arts. And it is a much-celebrated fixture on the Borough’s annual calendar. We value this initiative so much because it blends social justice concerns with creative artistic expression, prompting conversations among residents and visitors and illustrating some of the most noble functions of public art.”
