Gallery Exhibit: Subway: Patterns of Life

Event Details
March 5 – April 1, 2026
The Armory: PGE Gallery

Opening on March 5th at PCS, Subway: Patterns of Life, is an art exhibit by Annette Sabater. This exhibit is a 15-piece exhibit inspired during a seven week stay in Manhattan and Brooklyn in spring of 2023. The artist was captivated by the subway system, the people during their commute and the mosaic art seen throughout many of the subway stops. Each drawing, completed in graphite and pastel, represents an individual on the subway surrounded by mosaic patterns. The exhibit includes a QR code with each drawing, enabling the viewer easy access to information about each mosaic artist and their work which inspired each drawing.
