Ever wonder who designed the artwork in the New York City transit systems? Frequently overlooked by rushed travelers, the MTA stations actually showcase works of art by famous artists such as Sol Lewitt and Roy Lichtenstein. The showcase was started in the 1980s called Arts for Transit and includes 236 permanent artwork all over the subways system.
The New York MTA worked with the Meridian to create a free mobile application (works for both apple and android) that informs travelers & digitally showcases the artwork. It also provides directions as to where to find the artwork, photos, and podcasts. Take a tour around the subway sometime; you may get a new perspective through your everyday commute!
