We’re Honored!  We are thrilled and proud that Americans for the Arts Public Art Network has named new #MTAArts projects as among the 50 best public art produced in the country! Congratulations to the artists on their beautiful work: 

Firelei Baez for “Ciguapa Antellana, me llamo sueño de la madrugada. (who more sci-fi than us)” (2018), Glass mosaic fabricated by Mayer of Munich, at 163 Street-Amsterdam Av (C)

Ann Hamilton for “CHORUS” (2018), marble mosaic fabricated by Mayer of Munich, at WTC Cortlandt Street (1)

Rico Gatson for “Beacons” (2018), glass mosaic fabricated Miotto Mosaics, at 167th Street (B/D)

Four laminated glass projects on the Astoria N/W line:

Diane Carr for “Outlook” (2018), laminated glass fabricated by Glasmaleri Peters, at Broadway

Sarah Morris for “Hellion Equilibrium” (2018), laminated glass fabricated by Glassworks, at 39 Av-Dutch Kills

Maureen McQuillan for “Crystal Blue Persuasion” (2018), laminated glass fabricated by Depp Glass, at 36th Avenue

Infusing the 39 Av-Dutch Kills station (N,W) with vibrant color and geometric patterns, Sarah Morris’ newly installed silk-screened laminated glass “Hellion Equilibrium” (2018) animates the architecture of the elevated station and the surrounding Queens neighborhood. The artwork references an abstracted rendering of the station’s GPS location, and features a spectrum of color and shapes that invite commuters to reflect on the concepts of scale, light, mapping, and the ideas of motion and travel.
