What Does It Take to Start a Subway Mural Project?

Yesterday I read a great article about murals which were installed at the 86th Street subway station on Manhatan's West Side. I wonder if we could get permission to install similiar murals on the platforms and escalator passages at the Roosevelt Island subway station. It would brighten up a dreary station and add some additional pride to the island.

Now who can we call?

10044 - A Cool Code - Fall for Arts Festival

I have always loved the cable show "Cool in Your Code" and seeing the "10044" mural in front of Blackwell House on Saturday was well ... cool. There are very few neighborhoods in the City that are totally distinguishable from those sharing 4 of the 5 digits in their codes but Roosevelt Island is one of them.

As part of this year's Second Annual Fall for Arts Festival there were murals and painting galore. These three murals were among those "professionally" painted but the kids were not to bne left out even if that meant unfortunately painting over someone else's work by the time they got there.
