1. Artists matter in society, and should be weighing in on the times in which we live.
2. If you give artists real opportunities to experiment, they can help push society forward.
3. Public spaces are meant for free and creative expression.

Creative Time, headed by president Anne Pasternak, and whose founding principles are laid out above, has been working for almost forty years on public art projects and spaces across Manhattan and beyond. Under Anne's guidance, they have helped to change the way we think about our public art. A space that might typically be thought of as "sculptures plopped in public plazas," Creative Time has managed to find and captivate a much larger audience with the famous works the organization has set up; like the 9/11 memorial light displays at The World Trade Center, the artwork at Battery Park City, Park Avenue Armory, the Coney Island boardwalk, and the Essex Street Market, and, most recently, Heard NY, the Nick Cave Project at Grand Central Terminal.

Guess who is turning 100 today? One entire century ago the Grand Central Terminal was born to bring passenger rail travel to Manhattan in the heyday of the railroad industry. The opening was met by fanfare and celebration of over 150,000 visitors. Today people around the world can recognize New York by the trademark concourse and its signature clock making it a New York icon.
