Reroute for Art: Summer 2026 with Public Art Fund

Monday, May 25-September 30
Re Route Logo Lockup

Summer in New York City moves at algorithm speed. Every notification buzzes, every platform pulls, every corner competes for a glance. This season, Public Art Fund invites you to Re-Route for Art. Not away from the city’s energy, but deeper into it. Sometimes the best part of getting somewhere is being stopped along the way.

Whether it’s stopping by Central Park to visit Monira Al Qadiri: First Sun during your lunch break, enjoying a summer picnic next to Woody De Othello: Guardian Spirit in Brooklyn Bridge Park or arriving to LaGuardia Airport a little early to experience Sarah Sze: Shorter than the Day, a few minutes can result in meaningful and serendipitous artistic encounters. Share your inspiring adventures by tagging @PublicArtFund on social media, and check out #RerouteForArt to follow others’ journeys!
