The MTA is seeking artists for a new public art installation at Broadway Junction Station in Brooklyn, with submissions due by Feb. 8, 2026, according to documents released by MTA Arts & Design.
The call for artists covers the Broadway Junction complex serving the A, C, J, L and Z subway lines, one of the busiest transit hubs in the city. MTA Arts & Design said it is seeking images of artists’ previous work to consider for a site-specific commission that will be installed as part of new construction at the station.
All artistic mediums will be considered, the agency said. Finalists will be asked to develop proposals for artwork in three designated areas, with the selected design translated into approximately 1,000 square feet of mosaic by an approved fabricator. The new work will be placed in dialogue with an existing glass and mosaic installation, “Brooklyn, New Morning,” by Al Loving, installed at the station in 2001.
A selection panel made up of arts and design professionals will choose finalists, according to the MTA. Each finalist will receive a $1,500 honorarium to develop a proposal. One artist will ultimately be awarded the commission. The total budget for design and fabrication has not yet been determined, the agency said.
“The selected artist will be required to produce final designs, select a fabricator and oversee the fabrication and installation of the artwork, with project management by MTA Arts & Design,” the agency said in application materials.
Artists must apply online through the MTA Arts & Design submission portal and submit up to 20 images of prior work, along with a short application form, biography, résumé and artist statement. Submissions must be completed by 11:59 p.m. EST on Feb. 8.
Broadway Junction is a major transfer point connecting multiple subway lines in eastern Brooklyn and serves hundreds of thousands of riders each week.
