The secret word is network!

The Sydney metro is known to have an open public, plural, and continuous development art programme. The latter has permanent and temporary installations, new media, and performance. Still, the countersign is: network. In fact, these are the values that are born from the connection between people and the important themes, the guidelines to follow, with five sub-themes.

• Man, and the environment: focusing on sustainability and our relationship with the environment 
• Art and community: participatory and socially committed, capable of favouring a network of people 
• Close and far: art that transports us through imagination
• Past and present: why connection is also between what we are and what has been
• Present and future: a celebration of the capacity of renewing and developing places. 

Let's look at some examples: 

Cherrybrook Station, “Caring for Country” by Maddison Gibbs

Beautifully coloured flora sprouts from the dark. Almost like a suddenly appearing small team of spirits, which from the past let us remember how important it is to take care of what nature has given us. 

Station, “Reprise” by Ian Mutch 
A contemporary happy painting that suggests that human experiences to share are many: nature, food, music, entertainment, dance, reading, games. 

Hills Showground Station, "Hills Intervention" di Bradley Eastman

Architectural motives, with designs and geometries that surround the few things that has remained of nature: the artist denounces the excessive use of natural soil and tells us that we should have greater respect for rural areas, which are increasingly more inhabited.
