History: New York City Subway’s founders believed that art inspired and
enhanced public lives and spaces. According to Along the Way: MTA Arts For
Transit by Sandra Bloodworth, William Ayres and Stanley Tucci, the
definitive book on AFT, by the 1980s, the nation’s financial crisis was waning

Weekly News, Weeks of June 30 – July 14, 2010 Page 2

and the desire for improved historic preservation and public art was gaining momentum across the
country. New York City Mayor Ed Koch in 1982 passed the Percent for Art legislation requiring all city
building projects to spend one percent of their
construction budget on art. The Percent for Art agency
was established within the City’s Department of
Cultural Affairs. MTA’s Capital Program, founded in
mid 1980 with $8.3 million, funded the acclaimed
“Clean Car Program” which transformed an anti-
graffiti campaign from an ineffective anti-crime
program to a simple maintenance campaign. The
Capital Program provided funds for station
renovations, which had to adhere to the one percent
rule. By 1985, AFT was formally established with the
support of MTA Chairman Robert R. Kiley.

“The inclusion of art in station rehabilitations has had
a profound impact on the New York subway. The
success of the program lies in the efforts of many,
many people. The Arts for Transit staff has been the

the message that the transit environment is an important
place and the
people who use
the system are
respected.
Most often that
attitude has
translated into
increased
respect for the
station by the
public,” said
Sandra
Bloodworth,
AFT director.

Although AFT
was conceived to oversee the artists selection process and coordinate with permanent art installations, the
program also includes music—Music Under New York (MUNY), photography— Lightbox Project, a
series of photographic displays and the Poster Art project.
