DOT Art Program
DOT Art partners with community-based, nonprofit organizations, and professional artists to present temporary public art on DOT property for up to 11 months. Artists transform streets with colorful murals, dynamic projections, and eye-catching sculptures. Sidewalks, fences, triangles, medians, bridges, jersey barriers, step streets, and public plazas serve as canvases and foundations for art.
Open Streets
New York City’s Open Streets program transforms streets into public space open to all. These transformations allow for a range of activities that promote economic development, support schools, facilitate pedestrian and bike mobility, and provide new ways for New Yorkers to enjoy cultural programming and build community.
