THE BUZZ: Arts and poetry at a subway station near you
With crowded platforms and delayed trains, your daily commute may seem like a nightmare. But the MTAs Arts for Transit program is taking over area subway stations, with hopes to make your travels more pleasant.
Our customers tell us again and again that even a small investment in art and music underground makes a huge difference to them, said MTA Chairman Joseph J. Lhota. It can really improve the entire experience of riding the subway. And the beauty of this programand of poetry and art in generalis that it can really transport you.
The Arts for Transit program paired up with the Poetry Society of America for their Poetry In Motion features. Different thought-provoking poems and poetry excerpts will be displayed in the prominent square poster wells at passengers eye level.
