New York City's Amazing Subway Mosaic Tour - Manhattan

New York City's Amazing Subway Mosaic Tour - Manhattan

Обзор

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.

Such a fantastic surprise, all these beautiful mosaics all over the NYC subway system! Cathleen leads a fun and informative tour of the wonderful artwork under New York's busy streets. Her knowledge is extensive and she provides helpful explanations of the history, inspiration, techniques and even fun stories for each station you visit. Highly recommended for a unique experience in a city with so many different things to do.

For anyone who is interested in art and especially mosaics...this experience is absolutely amazing! There are nearly 500 mosaics in the NYC subways and our 4 hour tour covered just a tiny bit in about 10 locations. We learned about the artists, their process, fabrication and installation from Cathleen Newsham who is so personable, talented and experienced. She got us through the subway system and off and on at each stop seamlessly all the while filling us in on history starting in Grand Central Station. And there was plenty of time to take photos and really study each piece up close! Such a unique experience! I highly recommend it and would do this again and again each time I'm in NYC!

Thank you! I'm so happy you enjoyed it and I'll keep you informed of future tours! You would probably enjoy my full day tour (with a lunch break at Junior's), where we explore some of the fabulous mosaics in lower Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx. I'll be adding some of those tour dates soon and will probably happen in the Spring and Summer.

It is not easy to see a lot of the wonderful mosaic art in the subway system and Cathleen's tour makes it possible to see a lot in a reasonably short period of time. She knows the artists and the fabricators and has even participated in some of the installations so you get a lot of information that is not otherwise readily available. Be prepared to deal with busy and stuffy stations and to get off and on the subway several times.
