MTA Arts & Design welcomed public transportation professionals from throughout the country with a look at monumental art in the subway system! Attendees of the American Public Transportation Association (APTA) annual conference were guided through lower Manhattan to learn about the process of creating Ann Hamilton’s CHORUS (2018) at the WTC Cortlandt Street (1) station, the “Sky Reflector Net” by James Carpenter at Fulton Center, and Arts & Design’s award-winning Digital Arts Program. Uptown, another group toured the iconic artworks installed for the Second Avenue Subway (Q) Station to see firsthand the expansive permanent public art installation and its impact.
