the world's busiest, bawdiest, and most visually, raucous intersection, tranversed by hundreds of thousands of tourists, shoppers and commuters every day. In 1993 and 1994, over 50 artists came here to create on America's most public canvas.

Creative Time and the 42nd Street Development Project, Inc. in cooperation with the City's Economic Development Corporation, presented the work of artists, architects and designers on 42nd Street between Broadway and Eighth Avenue. The artists took the street on its own terms--installing their works on windows, walls, marquees and gates. In doing so they encouraged audiences to OPEN THEIR IMAGINATIONS and discover the buried treasure that lies beneath the glitter and scandal of this celebrated streetscape.
