Please join muralist Glenn Palmer-Smith and photographer Joshua McHugh as they share the incredible stories behind many of the city’s iconic works of public art in a visually stimulating presentation on the beauty and history of NYC.

“From the Chrysler Building to the Met (the museum and the opera house), many of New York’s best-known landmarks are adorned with murals, beautiful proof that interior décor can be a literal work of art. MURALS OF NEW YORK CITY unveils the best of the boroughs’ frescoes, some of which are in plain view (Lincoln Center) but many of which are tantalizingly hidden behind closed doors.” – VanityFair.com
