Garden in Transit: New York City in Full Bloom

by Justin Glow (RSS feed) on May 11th 2007 at 5:55PM

New York City, get ready for some color.

Garden in Transit is a city art project organized to paint colorful flowers on weatherproof panels that will be placed on tops of approximately 12,000 taxis in the New York City area.

Non-profit organization Portraits for Hope are organizing this "groundbreaking motivational art, education, and creative therapy project" which will use the artistic talents of kids in the pediatrics department at America's oldest hospital, Bellevue. "Beginning in September 2007 and until year's end, New York City will be visually transformed, as the ubiquitous yellow icon becomes a mobile artistic canvas."

This is all being done in conjunction with Taxi '07, celebrating 100 years of metered taxi service in New York City, which Gadling covered last month. More photos after the jump.
