Look Closer: Introducing Cracks and Crevices

If you’ve walked through Crosstown Concourse, you may have passed right by it. A small mark on a wall. A gap in the floor. A seam that’s always been there, but suddenly looks a little different than you remember. That’s not your imagination, that’s Cracks and Crevices.

What Is Cracks and Crevices

Cracks and Crevices is an art experience that continuously unfolds across Crosstown Concourse, and it doesn’t look like a traditional exhibition. There’s no single gallery to walk through and no starting point. Instead, artists have created site-specific installations tucked directly into the building’s existing cracks, seams, voids, and irregularities. Rather than smoothing those details over, this project turns them into the starting point for something new.

Why the Building’s Imperfections Matter

Crosstown Concourse wasn’t always the bustling, reimagined space it is today. Before it became home to neighbors, artists, students, and entrepreneurs, it sat vacant. Bringing it back to life meant embracing its history rather than erasing it, cracks, seams, and all.

Cracks and Crevices leans into that same spirit. Instead of hiding the marks of time, the project treats them as inspiration, small reminders that a building’s imperfections can hold just as much beauty and possibility as its most polished features. It’s a fitting extension of Crosstown Arts’ mission to keep art at the center of this building’s ongoing story.

How It Works

There’s no map for this one, and that’s the point. As you move through the Concourse, whether you’re grabbing lunch, heading to an appointment, or just passing through, keep an eye out. The installations are woven into places you already walk past every day. Finding them means slowing down and paying attention to details you might normally overlook.

This collection isn’t static. As new artists join the project, new installations will continue to appear throughout the building, so there’s always something new to discover, even if you think you’ve already found them all.

Come Explore

Cracks and Crevices is happening now throughout Crosstown Concourse. Next time you’re in the building, slow down, look twice, and check the corners. You never know what you might find hiding in plain sight.

Can you find them all?
