Art en R ute A Guide to Art in the MTA Network East 105th Street, NYC Transit subway Michael Ingui Contents Page The founders of the New York City subway believed that every design element in the 1 23 lines 3 – 4 system should show respect for our customers and enhance their experience of travel. 2 5 lines 5 As the century-old transportation network is restored and renewed, decorative elements 4 5 6 lines 6 – 7 of the past are preserved and protected even as contemporary art and design are intro- 7 ‡ line 8 duced.

As the MTA rehabilitates the subway and commuter rail stations in New York City and its suburbs through its Capital Programs, it uses a portion of the funds for the installation of permanent works of art. Arts for Transit’s projects create visually unique links to neighborhoods with art that echoes the architectural history and design context of the individual stations. Both well-established and emerging artists contribute to a constantly growing collection of works that use the materials of the system–mosaic, ceramic, tile, bronze, steel, and glass. In addition to permanent art, the program encompasses Music Under New York, a Transit Poster Program, and the Lightbox Project, a series of photography exhibits. To learn more about Arts for Transit projects, visit http://www.mta.info/mta/aft. About This Guide Art en Route helps you view art throughout the MTA system. The sections are organ- ized by subway line, commuter rail stations, and MTA Bridges and Tunnels. This guide is updated periodically as new installations are completed. An asterisk * indicates that the project was not yet installed at the time of printing. (Up-to-date project information is always available on our website http://www.mta.info/mta/aft.) Art en Route includes a fold-out subway and railroad map with a comprehensive listing of all stations with artwork, located at the back of the guide. Enjoy!
