The founders of the New York City subway believed that every design element in the system should show respect for our customers and enhance their experience of travel. As the century-old transportation network is restored and renewed, decorative elements of the past are preserved and protected even as contemporary art and design are introduced. Old and new happily coexist. As you travel through the Metropolitan Transportation Authority network, you experience a first-rate art museum of mosaic, terra cotta, bronze, glass, and mixed-media sculpture. We invite you to discover and enjoy this diverse and beautiful collection of commissioned public artwork installed throughout the region over the past two and a half decades. Use this guide and its maps to discover the location of the art contained in this vast collection of work in the subway system of MTA New York City Transit, at many stations of MTA Long Island Rail Road and MTA Metro-North Railroad, and at one site at MTA Bridges and Tunnels. As you visit New York, or as part of your daily commute, stop and visit your favorite Art en Route.

Since the 1980s, MTA Arts for Transit has commissioned public art that touches the lives of hundreds of thousands of city dwellers as well as national and international visitors. 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 Transits 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 systemmosaic, 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 organized 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!
