Have you spotted the 3 new #MTAArts art cards in subway cars? @Cleonique’s digital watercolor “In A Small Big World” moves us through a tiny ecosystem aboard public transit caterpillars. Passengers travel from flower to flower blooming w/familiar NYC architecture & attractions.
Celebrating August’s flower of the month – the Sunflower! #ArmandoVeve’s #MTAArts poster "Mechanical Botanical" is blooming throughout the @MTA NYC Transit system.
Congratulations to the award-winning illustrators #AaronFernandez, #ArmandoVeve & @LilyPadula whose 2019 #MTAArts posters & art card were selected from over 7,000 submissions to appear in the @AmericanIllust #AI39 annual award book and represent the best illustrations from 2019.
We will #SoundTheHorn 🔊 today at 3pm, along with over 100 transportation agencies across the globe, in support of public transportation staff on the front lines - the #HeroesMovingHeroes amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The critical role of transportation has been widely recognized this week - @NewYorker cover painting by #OwenSmith depicts the gravity of a medic's commute.

The colorful patterns in #MonikaBravo's “Duration” @ #ProspectAv (R) in #Brooklyn, are layered from historical waterfront & pixelated satellite images, & forms from Modern Abstraction. Bravo uses her layering process in her work at @RubinMuseum..https://t.co/bUF9E6q259

Gaby D’Allesandro’s new art card, “Arriving in Nature” is inspired by how the subway can help us escape the everyday bustle of NYC, taking us to botanical gardens and parks around the city and connecting us to nature.

Blooms are busting out all over in #NancyBlum‘s “Roaming Underfoot” (2019) @ the newly re-opened historic 28th St. (6) station. Similar to a glorious #garden, the larger than life underground flowers create a delightful space in every season. https://t.co/DIxcvFZgXc #MTAArts
The large-scale flowers in @WilliamLowart's "Deer Park Dahlias" (2018) at Deer Park Station shift the viewer's perspective, providing an experience of childlike wonder at the natural world. @TomPattiDesign @MTAArtsDesign #mtaarts #amodernli https://t.co/MulamgDChO

Farewell to the Fleet! We’ve enjoyed sharing the subways and streets with #sailors like the one in #OwenSmith’s mosaic “An Underground Movement: Designers, Builders, Riders” (1998) at 36th Street (N, R) in Sunset Park. #FleetWeek #MTAArts #subwayart
When the #BrooklynBridge’s 135th birthday falls on #NationalScavengerHuntDay, what better way to celebrate than hopping on the train to explore close to 300 permanent #publicart projects commissioned by #MTAArts!
