Subway Sketch Night: Redbird Edition

Join us for an evening of drawing at the New York Transit Museum, with an 80s and 90s twist! Presented in conjunction with our upcoming exhibition, Reign of the Redbirds, come celebrate the iconic Redbird subway cars that blazed through New York City from the 1960s through the early 2000s. Hosted by New York City-based illustrator, James Yang, the evening will begin with an introduction to Yang’s work. Following the conversation, explore the Museum and draw inspiration from bygone days in our 1936 decommissioned subway station and vintage subway cars.
