Public Art
The aim of the Art on the Malls Program is to complement and enhance the long-standing mission of the Broadway Mall Association: to beautify and maintain the malls of Broadway with sculpture of quality created by artists working at the highest level (where possible, artists and work new to the New York City streetscape). Sculpture installations reflect the vernacular of Broadway, and engage its distinctive, diverse communities, while attracting new visitors to Broadway as a destination.
The Broadway Mall Association public art exhibitions were inaugurated in 2005 and have included the work of ten individual artists and one multi-artist exhibition. A number of the artists have created site-specific work for the Broadway malls. A chronology of the artists and dates of the exhibitions follows below.
