Who provides funding for public arts in the subway?

  1. Brooklyn Arts Council

  2. MTA's Arts For Transit

  3. New York City Department of Cultural Affairs

  4. The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The correct answer is: MTA's Arts For Transit

MTA's Arts For Transit is the correct answer because it is the specific program within the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) responsible for overseeing and funding public arts initiatives in the subway system. The other options are incorrect because they do not have direct involvement or authority over funding public arts in the subway. The Brooklyn Arts Council focuses on arts funding in Brooklyn, the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs supports cultural initiatives citywide, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art is a renowned museum but does not provide funding for public arts in the subway system.
