Contribute your ideas, thoughts, and feelings around the concept of art at our activation in the Flatiron North Plaza!

Flatiron North Plaza

The slogan &quot;Art Is...&quot; stands in long tradition with SVA. Dating back to 1947, the College has produced 180 posters for the New York City subway system. This summer, the Division of Continuing Education will be in conversation with this tradition by posing the statement, &quot;Art Is...&quot; to the public in the Flatiron Plaza. We invite the community to write their ideas, thoughts and feelings around the concept of art and how it resonates with each of us. The piece was designed by School of Visual Arts faculty member and artist Stephen Gaffney.J﻿oin us for this art activation and stay for salsa dancing in partnership with the <a href="https://flatironnomad.nyc/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Flatiron Nomad Partnership</a>.
