The NYC Department of Transportation (DOT) is inviting artists and community organizations to contribute to Summer Streets 2025, transforming city streets into vibrant, car-free public spaces. Scheduled for select Saturdays, this event offers opportunities for pedestrians and cyclists to enjoy dedicated spaces with free activities. Artists can apply for funding to showcase temporary art installations along the route, while performers and organizations are encouraged to propose engaging programs. The application deadlines are April 27 for artists and June 6 for programming partners, promoting collaborative creativity in the city.
DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez emphasized the uniqueness of Summer Streets, stating, 'There is nothing quite like summertime in New York City, and Summer Streets is our flagship celebration of this city, its people and our public space.'
NYC DOT Art has launched an RFP to select artists for temporary installations, offering funding up to $50,000 for large-scale projects spanning five weekends.
