We Are Metro Riders Art At Union Station
The New “We Are Riders” Art exhibition at Union Station DTLA Where L.A. begins, showcasing 35 riders portraits in the Union Station Passageway Art Gallery and more in an online gallery. WE ARE… PORTRAITS OF METRO RIDERS BY LOCAL ARTISTS
PASSAGEWAY ART GALLERY EXHIBIT AT UNION STATION NOW OPEN
Metro riders are invited to contribute selfies and personal stories of transit using the hashtag #SomosWeAre
Celebrating the diversity of Los Angeles County and the community of transit riders, We Are…Portraits of Metro Riders by Local Artists is an exhibition featuring portraits presented throughout the Metro system and online. Each rider portrait has a story that is personal and universal, intimate and immediate— a single story among the many stories of 840,000 daily riders on Metro, and each told by an artist with ties to neighborhoods served by Metro.
The We Are… exhibition displays 35 new artworks in the Union Station Passageway Art Gallery along with additional artworks in an expanded online gallery.
