Broadway, Tip to Top: Manhattan Valley (103rd)

Welcome to the 2026 Broadway: Tip to Top series! We've begun at the very beginning, at the tip of Manhattan, and we'll progress up the island using Broadway as our path. By the end of Fall, we'll finish in Van Cortlandt Park, where Broadway continues into Yonkers but we will not; I have my limits, and one is the city limit!

This weekend's location is in Manhattan Valley, more specifically the 103rd Street stop on the 1 train. The grand apartment buildings of this area on Broadway are contrasted by the leafy side streets of old brownstones. And there's an old Automat building from 1930 on 104th!

Our meeting point will be at 10am (Summer Hours!) on the shadiest corner of the intersection with Broadway, which should be the southeast one. Check in with me on-site so I know who's attending, and then we'll disperse to our individual painting spots. At 1pm, we'll meet back up to show off our art and discuss the day.

Gather your materials (watercolor, oils, gouache, acrylics, marker: all are welcome) and join with other artists for the joys and challenges of painting outside!
