The MTA has taken notice of the work that occurs at BVEStation and its associated works. The MTA has decided that the work on BVEStation would best be showcased in the MTA's Arts For Transit program. MTA Arts for Transit commissions artists through a competitive selection process to create original, site-specific permanent artwork for rehabilitated stations and have selected some of the content featured on BVEStation for showcasing at the Transit Museum.
"We are pleased to showcase the wonderful work happening at BVEStation to the public, the works created at BVEStation provides an opportunity for the public to enjoy the subway system and its history in a more fun and interactive way" said MTA Arts for Transit Spokeperson Susan Portland.
The museum will be showcasing the museum exhibits of the works of BVEStation, from April 1st to April 2nd.
