The Art Assignment | Public Art Trip: New York City | The Art Assignment | PBS Digital Studios @theartassignment | Uploaded October 2016 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
Pre-order our book YOU ARE AN ARTIST (which includes new assignments!) here: bit.ly/2kplj2h New York City offers way too many art-viewing opportunities for us to cover in a single art trip video, so this time we decided to focus on the abundant public art around the city.
