Peter Colquhoun's Under the Standard on the High Line.

The High Line is increasingly becoming a place of inspiration for art-making. One of the most recent works comes from Peter Colquoun, whose landscapes of the High Line are on view right now at DietzSpace.

Group leaders encourage kids to make music using recycled materials from Chelsea Market at last season's Bash the Trash parade.

Did you know that Friends of the High Line hosts free- and low-cost public programs?

Each season, we offer variety of opportunities for New Yorkers of all ages to meet their neighbors, share their stories, and take part in fun activities inspired by the distinctiveness of the High Line.

Do you wonder what public art does? Or, what makes a public space successful?

Details for a major new art installation, going in on the High Line this summer, have been finalized.

Building on the success of Spencer Finch's installation in the Chelsea Market Passage, we're once again partnering with public art superstars Creative Time and the public art wing of the Parks Department. This time, we commissioned a site-specific multi-channel sound piece from artist Stephen Vitiello, entitled A Bell for Every Minute. The piece will be installed in the 14th Street Passage, another semi-enclosed space where the High Line runs through a former industrial building.
