Public Art Installations
Public art installations aim to transform Myrtle Avenue’s public spaces into temporary homes for art, highlighting our community’s creative spirit, creating a sense of place, and changing the way people experience our public spaces.
In 2008, we kicked off our Public Art initiative with Tree Hugger Project installations at two locations: Ingersoll Houses and the Carlton Triangle (at intersection of Carlton and Myrtle avenues). Since then, this initiative has brought multiple installations to neighborhood, both in partnership with government agencies like NYC DOT and Parks, and through our own open RFP process.
