Second Avenue Subway Project

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority is constructing a new subway line along Second Avenue that will extend from 125th Street to the Financial District in Lower Manhattan. Sixteen new ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) accessible stations will be constructed. Phase I of this project will include stations at 96th Street, 86th Street, 72nd Street and 63rd Street.

MTA Arts for Transit is commissioning site-specific permanent artwork for the first four Second Avenue Subway stations and invites artists to submit their qualifications for this exciting and unique opportunity. Please download the Call for Artists brochure for submission guidelines and for more information about the Second Avenue Subway project.

Submissions are due by 5 p.m. December 21, 2007 for the 96th and 86th Street stations. Materials received after December 21, 2007 will only be considered for the 72nd and 63rd Street stations, and may be submitted until March 15, 2008.
