Oct. 16th Municipal Art Society MTA Tour of Downtown Brooklyn
Explore Art. Take Part in Upcoming Summit
New York City, NY 11201
United States of America
The Municipal Art Society (MAS) offers us an opportunity to learn about the subway's art with its "MTA Arts for Transit: Downtown & Central Brooklyn" touron Saturday, October 16th from 11:00 am to 1:30 pm. The tour is guided and will stop to explore contemporary artwork in the subway, so you will need your Metro Card. Tickets are $15 ($10 for MAS members).
Who knew there was enough art in downtown's subway for a tour? I confess, not me. This is a good chance to discover it.
The MAS is also holding a "Summit for New York City" on October 21st and 22nd. The summit will focus on the city's livability and "discuss whether the many diverse corners of New York can retain a small town feel while facing significant increases in population." Tickets are $120 for one day and $195 for two days for non-members. The summit will not only cover Brooklyn; it will cover all of NYC.
These two events are unique ways to take part in the city that you love, hate, or love to hate.
Till next time, Downtown B.
