West Side Fest: Create Your Own Subway Sun Poster

The Interborough Rapid Transit Company (IRT) opened New York City’s original underground subway line in October 1904. In order to entice people to regularly use the subway, the IRT printed two in-car poster campaigns, one of which was The Subway Sun. These posters depicted various landmarks across the city to encourage travel to different neighborhoods.

Do you have a favorite spot in New York City? Is there a hidden gem you would like to share? Come and design your own Subway Sun poster in this workshop and highlight what makes the city special to you!

This program is designed for all ages. It is not a drop-off program.
