Consultation with scholars, a curator, and public program specialists to develop exhibitions, walking tours, panel discussions, oral history collections, and other public programs that interpret the history of the Grand Concourse, Bronx, New York.

Intersections along the Grand Concourse, a multi-year, interdisciplinary series of events and programs—exhibitions, walking tours, panel discussions, collection of oral histories, and commissioned art projects — that will interpret the history of one of the nation’s premiere thoroughfares. The Grand Concourse was designed by French engineer, Louis Risse, at the end of the nineteenth century, inspired by the Champs Elyssees in Paris.
