MTA Arts & Design: Transforming Manhattan’s West Side Stations WAIT LIST ONLY

This program is now sold out, but you can add your name to the waitlist to be notified via email if a spot opens up.

MTA Arts & Design’s Percent for Art program oversees one of the largest and most diverse collections of site-specific public art in the world, with more than 300 permanent artworks by world-famous, mid-career, and emerging local artists installed across subway and commuter rail stations.

Open House New York and MTA Arts & Design invite you to tour a series of older subway stations on the west side of Manhattan that have been restored, transformed, and upgraded with new artwork and design–including wayfinding, technology, lighting and structural upgrades that are providing a heightened experience for customers. Participants will explore these station enhancement elements with an emphasis on mosaic artwork commissioned by MTA Arts & Design. The subway tour includes stops at 86th St station with art by Joyce Kozloff, 72nd St station with art by Yoko Ono, 42nd St–Bryant Park station with mosaic art by Samm Kunce and lightbox photography by Jeanette May, and 23rd St station with art by William Wegman.

This tour will be led by Lester Burg, Deputy Director, MTA Arts & Design.
