The founders of the New York City subway believed that every design element in thesystem 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 intro-duced. Old and new happily coexist.
As you travel through the Metropolitan Transportation Authority network, you experiencea 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 commissionedpublic 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 vastcollection 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 andTunnels. 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 thelives of hundreds of thousands of city dwellers as well as national and internationalvisitors. 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 theinstallation of permanent works of art.
Arts for Transit’s projects create visually unique links to neighborhoods with art thatechoes the architectural history and design context of the individual stations. Bothwell-established and emerging artists contribute to a constantly growing collection ofworks that use the materials of the system–mosaic, ceramic, tile, bronze, steel, andglass. 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.
