Call for Artists

MTA Arts & Design seeks images of artists’ previous work to review in consideration for a new permanent Percent for Art project, in conjunction with renovation of Steinway St Station in Astoria, Queens. An approved fabricator will translate the final artwork designs into a durable medium. The artwork is projected to be realized in mosaic. An artist’s prior experience with this material will not be taken into consideration when reviewing images.

Requirements

Eligibility is based upon artistic merit as evidenced in previous work, exhibition history, awards, honors, and publications, and demonstrated proficiency and technical knowledge of the medium(s) in which the artist regularly works. All artists interested in being considered for
projects must apply online.

Application Instructions

Please submit up to 20 images along with a short application form, a bio, CV, and brief artist statement to mtaarts.submittable.com.
