About

The Photography program showcases the work of primarily New York-based photographers. Bright, vivid photographs enliven subway passageways and the underground environment. Large scale lightboxes are illuminated from within, and the images are printed on transparency film by local providers. Exhibitions rotate periodically and feature a wide range of photographic work through research and curatorial practice.

Located at five key sites:

  • 42 St-Bryant Park 
  • Atlantic Av-Barclays Center  LIRR
  • Bowling Green 
  • Grand Central Terminal Dining Concourses
  • Grand Central Madison
