Sponsored by the New York Foundation on the Arts, Meet Miss Subways is an artistic, delightful voyeuristic and even historically important look at the famous subway advertising program. Each month for thirty-five years, a young woman was selected as "Miss Subways" and her picture and brief biography appeared in thousands of subways and busses. She became an instant celebrity!
