Colorful glass-tiled mosaics. Eighteen-foot enameled relief sculptures. Magnificent ceiling murals. While in Manhattan, you’ve probably walked past a beautiful art installation by native New Yorker Hildreth Meière. Prolific, innovative, and talented, Meière worked with some of New York’s most renowned Art Deco architects to create designs integral to a building’s overall aesthetic — at landmarks including Radio City Music Hall, Temple Emanu-El, St. Bartholomew’s Church, and the newly landmarked Red Room at One Wall Street, now home to the Parisian department store Printemps.

Join us for a fascinating virtual tour of Meière’s extraordinary work hidden in plain sight throughout New York City. We’ll visit some of her most iconic installations, learn the stories behind them, and discover the remarkable artist whose work helped define the look of some of the city’s most celebrated spaces.
