NE corner of Amherst and Grant.
"Conceptualized by  Lead Artist Marissa Lehner and ELAB President, Marcus L. Wise, the mural at the corner of Grant and Amherst Street, converted a blighted lot into a celebrated community work of art." - Grant/Amherst Community Mural Project on Emerging Leaders in the Arts Buffalo website (online August 2014)



" Located at 388 Amherst Street at the intersection with Grant, the pre-designed mural features a large tree with roots sprawling through the bedrock of the community, a metaphor for its growth and change over time."  - Matthew Biddle, "A Mural-a-thon in Black Rock" in Buffalo Spree (online August 2014)
