Art in the City: Building an inclusive and creative metropolis
Wouldn’t it be great if…
Street Art
-
people found new ways to add beautiful color to their neighborhoods! [South Bronx]
-
art could be freely exhibited? [Central Park, Manhattan]
-
there was GRAFITTI PARK where artists can go to tag their works on walls and spaces maintained by a staff. The works could be done on a rotating schedule that artist can sumbit their ideas to. [Harlem, Manhattan]
-
the city found some way to incentivize the guy who owns 5pointz to build his condo towers elsewhere and save the warehouse. [Long Island City, Queens]
-
the city could legally support street artists. [Citywide]
-
any wall could become a contested space. [Citywide]
Participatory Urbanism
-
We could reclaim the underutilized spaces adjacent to the Franklin Ave Shuttle train [Crown Heights, Brooklyn]
-
there were participatory art projects that served as community think tanks and incubators for ideas. [Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, Citywide]
-
people from around the world could write messages or post images to new-yorkers and the tourists in the city. [Times Square, Manhattan]
-
Corona Avenue were as fun and unique on the ground as it looks from above in maps? [Corona, Queens]
-
there were more simple (read: inexpensive) but creative play spaces around the city for both kids and adults, like last year’s PS1 courtyard installation? [Long Island City, Queens]
Museums
-
We had more Hotels in the Bronx? Why not make one of those beautiful old buildings on the Grand Concourse into a Hotel AND in its lobby, create a museum to the Concourse of old!!! [Fordham Heights, Bronx]
-
we created a cultural district for children in Crown Heights to encourage safe and healthy community inclusive of all ages? [Crown Heights, Brooklyn]
-
they built up the lots with all the surface parking at South Street Seaport. Could be a great spot for a new museum or hotels. [Financial District, Manhattan]
-
the amazing public space at Audubon Terrace could be better-utilized and more vibrant? [Washington Heights, Manhattan]
-
the city would be smart about managing growth around MoMI. [Astoria, Queens]
-
the Steinway Mansion became a museum and community center? [Astoria, Queens]
-
there were more art studios and galleries [Richmond Hill, Queens]
-
the city had more outdoor museums! [Citywide]
