“Manhole Covers Invitational” NY Hall of Science Corona NY

Grate Works: Manhole & Sewer Main Covers
July 2 – Sept 4.

You’ll never look at manholes the same way after you see the prints and sculpture reliefs by artist Bobbi Mastrangelo.
This artist depicts grates, manholes and sewer main covers in simulated urban environments.
She challenges the viewer to see past the dirt and grime to appreciate the inherent artistry
of our public utilities and roads.

Decipher the Secrets of NY City’s Hidden Infrastructure
(From the underground entrance to the indoor cut away house, visitors
learn about our connection to utilities and services often taken for granted)
