Single Fare – MetroCard Art Exhibition

Jason Bereswill, "Snorkler"

It all started with the self portraits above by art student Imogen Slater. Slater’s instructor, Jean-Pierre Roy was inspired by her idea of using MetroCards as her canvas to create an exhibition of MetroCard art by hundreds of other artists. Roy made an open call for submissions that lasted till Thursday and promised to display at least one by every artist that submitted.

The show will be up from May 8th through May 12th at a studio located at 224 Grand Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The reception is Saturday the 8th at 6pm.

Between Single Fare and the other two subway related art openings I reported on, it is turning out to be unofficial subway art week in New York.

MetroCard Mods

Graphic designer Shane Keaney asks the question: What if we could customize our MetroCards? His thought is if they were customizable, people would hold on to them for longer and would create less waste. So Shane created a sticker template and created several cards like the ones above. Check out more at his Behance portfolio.
