New York City FC Announce Sarah Morris as First Artist in Etihad Park’s Public Art Program

New York City FC today announced that New York City-based artist Sarah Morris will create an original artwork for Etihad Park as one of several artists contributing to the stadium’s public art program.

Known for her geometric paintings and site-specific works inspired by the architecture, energy and psychology of urban environments, Morris will create a unique piece celebrating Queens and New York City.

“I am thrilled to contribute to Etihad Park’s public art program,” said Sarah Morris. “As a New York City local, I’m honored to be part of the identity of the city’s first soccer stadium, and to create a distinctive welcome each time they visit the stadium to watch the beautiful game in the world’s borough.”

Morris’s work has been exhibited at major institutions around the world, including The Museum of Modern Art, Tate Modern, Centre Pompidou, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and the Whitney Museum of American Art.

Morris is one of several artists who will contribute public art to Etihad Park, bringing to life the vision for the stadium as a place that celebrates the character, culture and energy of New York City. Additional details about the other artists and their artworks will be shared at a later date.

Etihad Park, the future home of New York City FC, is scheduled to open in spring of 2027 and will become New York City’s first-ever soccer-specific stadium. Designed as a year-round destination for sports, entertainment, and community programming, the stadium will anchor a broader redevelopment at Willets Point in Queens and create a dynamic new neighborhood for the city.

New York City FC worked with Via Partnership, LLP, a firm specializing in planning, curating and producing public art, to curate Etihad Park’s public art program.
