Around the Nation

*Here are some of this week's arts and culture stories from public broadcasters around the nation.* For more than 25 years, the New York MTA's [Arts for Transit](http://www.mta.info/mta/aft/) program has brought public art to the underground subway system. This week, WNYC [profiles the underground creations](http://www.thirteen.org/sundayarts/video/art-underground-tom-otterness/1881/) of [Tom Otterness](http://www.tomostudio.com/index02.html).

A new historical documentary about the disability rights movement [will air on Oct. 27 on ITVS](http://www.itvs.org/films/lives-worth-living).

KPBS [looks at an exhibit](http://www.kpbs.org/news/2011/oct/21/turning-trash-art/) at the San Diego's New Children's Museum featuring 12 artists from around the world who use trash to create art.
To colorize or not to colorize? That was the question that Ted Turner faced in the 1980s when he acquired the MGM film library. It set off a debate in the Hollywood film industry and is [revisited](http://video.pbs.org/video/2157876077/#) as the National Film Registry celebrates its 50th anniversary.
