First Friday: Next Stop—Poster House! A Subway Poster Adventure

All aboard for a fun-filled journey through New York City’s transit history! Inspired by the exhibition From the Bronx to the Battery: The Subway Sun, this hands-on program invites young explorers to discover the colorful world of 1930s subway posters by Fred Cooper. Learn how art helped shape the daily commute—and then design your own mini subway car to take on a creative ride across the five boroughs.

This family workshop is designed for children ages 5–11 and their grown-ups to enjoy together.

Please note: this is not a drop-off program—an adult must accompany children at all times.

Accessibility Note: Masks and clear masks are available free of charge at the museum. Assistive listening devices and stools are available. ASL (American Sign Language) interpretation or a CART (Communication Access Realtime Translation) is also available upon request. Please contact access@posterhouse.org or (914) 295-2387 to request interpretation services and to address any other accessibility needs.
