For the two weeks of October 6^th through October 19^th, Grand Central was successfully transformed into an art-installation celebrating the humanity and diversity of New York City. During its two-week existence, hundreds of thousands of people would experience the installation in full, and several million would experience some part of it. Every one of these people would become part of Dear New York.  On the final night of October 19^th, hundreds of children from the Young People’s Choir of New York City performed a custom medley. While they sang—the columns of the Main Concourse displayed the creation of a sandpainting by local artist Joe Mangrum, accompanied by the quote: ‘There’s an urgency to a piece of art that’s going to be swept up at the end of the day. That’s the life in it—it’s going to die.’ At the conclusion of the medley, the projections were shut off, and Dear New York came to an end.
