Metro Art reveals new site-responsive artworks by eight acclaimed artists, which have been integrated into each level of three highly anticipated downtown Los Angeles Metro Rail stations.
Artworks by
Clare Rojas and Audrey Chan at Little Tokyo/Arts District Station
Andrea Bowers, Mark Steven Greenfield and Clarence Williams at Historic Broadway Station
Ann Hamilton, Pearl C. Hsiung and Mungo Thomson at Grand Ave Arts/Bunker Hill Station
All artists were selected through an open, competitive selection process following the recommendation of a panel of community-based arts professionals. Over 180 local artists, arts and cultural organizations and community advisors were involved in shaping the Metro Art program for these three new stations.
Additionally, temporary exhibitions by Ralph Gilbert and Samira Yamin are on view at the Grand Av Arts/Bunker Hill and Historic Broadway Stations as part of the Metro Art Lightbox Exhibition Program.

High Prismatic by Pearl C. Hsiung - Concourse
High Prismatic by Pearl C. Hsiung on the Concourse level at Grand Av Arts / Bunker Hill Station
This ‘geyser’ reflects the dramatic forces of endless change that bubble and erupt in nature and human nature, both of which have shaped the Bunker Hill area. The saturated palette, variegated painting techniques and compositional approach in the artwork reflect aspects of the artist’s Taiwanese American identity and the multi-textured, polychromatic experience of growing up and living in Southern California.
