An abstract tile mosaic by artist Sam Gilliam will be installed in the underpass of the Takoma Metro station.
Metro has unveiled sketches of plans for new artwork to be installed at the Farragut West and Takoma stations. The Board of Directors approved the designs at their weekly meeting today.
An abstract mosaic tile mural by renowned Washington Color School artist Sam Gilliam will be installed in the underpass of the Takoma station entrance. The project is being funded by the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities.
At the Farragus West station, a series of low-relief, botanically-inspired aluminum and light sculptures by local artist Michael Sirvet will be added to the entrance at 17th and I streets NW. The Golden Triangle BID and the DC Arts Commission are both paying for that project.
Both installations will be supervised by Metro’s Art in Transit Program.
D.C. artist Michael Sirvet will create a series of aluminum and light sculptures for the Farragut West Metro station.
