The High Line Art Program sites commissioned sculptures, outdoor performances, and group exhibitions among the elevated walkways and cultivated greenspaces of one of New York City’s most popular public parks. Spanning a portion of the city’s west side from the Meatpacking District to Hudson Yards, the High Line has offered millions of visitors unique encounters with challenging new work by an international array of contemporary artists. For more than a decade, The High Line has provided emerging and established artists with an important, highly visible public platform for new work. It draws on its considerable expertise and curatorial acumen to ensure artists have a successful experience, supporting them in taking risks and encouraging experiments in scale, form, and duration.
