Explore the heartbeat of New York, Through the eyes of leading designers, Envisioning Our Future City with a series of posters. Walk uptown, downtown, cross the waterways, Experience An Ode to NYC around every corner, A poster collection expressing love for our city.

NYCxDESIGN's second city-wide exhibition, An Ode to NYC, has returned this October to re-connect people to the heartbeat of NYC’s design scene. In light of the last twelve months and the ongoing impact of the pandemic on the city’s streets, people, and culture, this year’s theme of “Our Future City” reflects new beginnings. NYCxDESIGN has tapped into the expansive design ecosystem of the city, partnering with a host of showrooms, cultural institutions, and cutting-edge design businesses to showcase the original works, as well as appointing a new crop of talented designers who were tasked with painting a vision of tomorrow with one-of-a-kind poster designs. Thanks to this spirit of collaboration and participation across the design sector, An Ode to NYC will reach countless New Yorkers this fall, channeling the city’s unique capacity to support our community through design. Click here to explore the inaugural 2020 Ode to NYC collection.

The 2021 collection of posters are now on view in window front locations across showrooms, studios, retailers, restaurants, and cultural venues. They are also being showcased digitally on the expansive screens installed at The Oculus at Westfield World Trade Center, Fulton Center, and on-board the NYC Ferry’s fleet.
