MetroCard Mosaics with Nina Boesch

6:00 PM ET / Doors open 5:45 PM ET
On-Site Program
$25 / Members $20
Launched thirty years ago in 1994, the MetroCard proved more convenient than a pocketful of tokens and allowed for new incentives like unlimited rides and free transfers. Recycling MetroCards into art has long been a passion of artist Nina Boesch, whose intricate mosaic creations reimagine iconic New York landmarks and symbols.
In this hands-on workshop, learn about Nina’s creative process and work, and create your own MetroCard masterpiece while enjoying a glass of wine. Come celebrate this iconic form of payment on the eve of its retirement.
All skill levels are welcome.
