Believe it or not, the New York City subway is a treasure trove of priceless artworks! Below the city’s streets you can find everything from beautifully ornate decorative tiles that date to the original stations of the early 20th-century, to large scale mosaics and murals from contemporary artists. In a reprise of our popular subway art virtual talk, Untapped New York’s Chief Experience Officer Justin River will unveil the latest works of art found in the subway system and the stories of the artists and inspiration behind them.
