Developed by Metro’s Art in Transit Program, MetroPerforms! invites local performers to showcase their talents at select Metrorail station entrances. Metro invited local arts councils in areas served by Metro to help select and schedule performances at stations in their respective jurisdictions. In its first year, the program includes participation from the District of Columbia, Montgomery County and Prince George’s County. MetroPerforms! is a pilot program aimed at enhancing the experience of transit users and pedestrians, and supporting the arts in the region.
