New York's Underground Art Museum

All Of It with Alison Stewart | May 9, 2024

Over the past four decades, hundreds of permanent artworks have been installed across New York City's transit system. The new book, Contemporary Art Underground: New York MTA Arts & Design, highlights more than a hundred recent installations that span the five boroughs. Co-authors Sandra Bloodworth and Cheryl Hageman join us to discuss the art work, the process of how artists get chosen, and how having art in the subway connects riders to the city around them.
