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（原名为地铁艺术）委托创作公共艺术，这些艺术作品被数百万的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，以确定将融入每个计划翻新车站的艺术作品的参数和地点。多样化的成熟艺术家、中坚艺术家和新兴艺术家为系统材料——马赛克、陶瓷、瓷砖、青铜、钢铁和玻璃——创作的作品集不断壮大。艺术家通过一个竞争性的选拔过程被选中，该过程由视觉艺术专业人士和社区代表组成的选拔小组负责评审和选拔。本数据集提供了分支或车站以及艺术家和艺术作品信息。
