MTA Long Island Rail Road Permanent Art Call for Images: Bellerose and Floral Park Stations

About this call

MTA Arts & Design seeks images of artists' previous work for permanent public art at two Long Island Rail Road stations, Bellerose and Floral Park in Nassau County, Long Island, New York, United States, as part of ADA accessibility upgrades and other improvements. The artworks will be realized in mosaic and/or metal by an approved fabricator, each averaging 400 to 600 sq ft across multiple surfaces. A panel of arts and design professionals selects two finalists, one per station, who receive site specifications and develop site-specific proposals; after the proposals and in-person presentations, one artist per station receives the commission, produces final designs, selects a fabricator and oversees fabrication and installation, with project management by MTA Arts & Design.
