Street Marker

exploring new ways to mark streets 

Return to All Programs

​Street Marker experiments with ways to mark streets, starting with a custom tool kit that allows communities to create striking patterns, colorful communal murals, and more. The tools encourage New Yorkers to draw together and take up space. Staff engage passersby, and teaching artists can help elevate the experience.
