Times Square Transformation will redefine Times Square as an artistic town square -- and provide a paradigm to be shared with center-city civic leaders from across America -- by enlisting ten cutting-edge NYC cultural organizations and festivals, which represent a range of disciplines, audience demographics and neighborhoods, to permanently transform Times Square's newest public spaces into venues for innovative performing and visual arts.
