MTA Permanent Art Catalog: Beginning 1980

Through the Permanent Art Program, MTA Arts & Design (formerly Arts for Transit) commissions public art that is seen by millions of city-dwellers as well as national and international visitors who use the MTA’s subways and trains. Arts & Design works closely with the architects and engineers at MTA NYC Transit, Long Island Rail Road and Metro-North Railroad to determine the parameters and sites for the artwork that is to be incorporated into each station scheduled for renovation. A diversity of well-established, mid-career and emerging artists contribute to the growing collection of works created in the materials of the system -mosaic, ceramic, tile, bronze, steel and glass. Artists are chosen through a competitive process that uses selection panels comprised of visual arts professionals and community representatives which review and select artists. This data provides the branch or station and the artist and artwork information.

通过永久艺术项目，纽约大都会交通局艺术与设计（原名为交通艺术）委托创作公共艺术作品，这些作品被数百万城市居民以及使用大都会交通局地铁和火车的国内外游客所欣赏。艺术与设计部门与纽约大都会交通局、长岛铁路和地铁-北铁路的建筑师与工程师紧密合作，确定即将进行翻新改造的各个车站的艺术作品参数和地点。众多已建立声誉、处于职业生涯中段以及新兴艺术家们共同为系统中不断增多的作品集贡献力量，这些作品采用的材料包括马赛克、陶瓷、瓷砖、青铜、钢铁和玻璃。艺术家们通过竞争性选拔程序被选中，该程序由视觉艺术专业人士和社区代表组成的选拔小组进行评审和选拔。本数据集提供了分支或车站以及艺术家和艺术作品的信息。
