Public Art Project Launches at Red Hook Houses, The NYHCA Journal

Red Hook Houses is the first NYCHA campus to host a new public art project that repurposes temporary construction fencing and sidewalk sheds into a wide range of large-scale photography, digital print works, murals, and mixed-media art installations to improve the pedestrian experience and increase opportunities for artists.

Red Hook’s new art is thanks to a multi-part series of artist fellowships through the City Canvas pilot program, an initiative of the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs. NYCHA’s iteration of the program, “Bridging the Divide,” was coordinated with the nonprofit organization ArtBridge, as well as several City agencies and private partners.
