New York City's Amazing Subway Mosaic Tour - Manhattan

New York City's Amazing Subway Mosaic Tour - Manhattan

Aperçu

Join award winning mosaic artist Cathleen Newsham for this fascinating tour of Manhattan's stunning subway mosaics.

Do you know there are over 400 mosaics installed on subway platforms in the five boroughs of New York City? Fifteen years ago, when Cathleen was commissioned to create her own version of a Coney Island subway mosaic in a Manhattan family’s bathroom, she began her discovery of this immense underground museum with the largest collection of mosaics in North America. Cathleen has taken thousands of photographs of these amazing works and lead many artists, students and enthusiasts through the vast NYC transportation network to view these under-appreciated works of art. As a professional mosaic artist she will be explaining the process of how the mosaics were designed, fabricated and installed, giving insight into the complex process of creating a smalti mosaic mural.

In a city where you are nearly always compelled to look up, it was thoroughly refreshing to spend a day under ground and looking ahead at the walls. Cathleen leads a perfectly paced afternoon through the underground world of subway art. She was informative both about the artists and their processes used to create the works. Well worth putting on your checklist of “must do” activities when in NYC!

This was an amazing tour of a little known NYC attraction. Cathleen was extremely knowledgeable and organized describing the history of each mosaic as well as the artists and the techniques used to create the works. We saw a lot in four hours and she even added a stop that we heard about and wanted to see!

Only someone who is an artist, as our tour guide Cathleen is, can impart the knowledge about the skill and craftsmanship that create the modern day mosaics we saw. Underground we zigzagged from subway stop to subway stop to see an array of different styles. This tour is well worth taking.
