In 2004, Metro's Arts in Transit program commissioned the work Oasis by Catherine Woods for installation in the adjacent MetroBus transfer center. The panels of heat-strengthened, laminated glass are inspired by the four basic alchemical elements; earth, air, fire, and water. Also incorporated into the design is a fifth element based on the idea of good fortune. This concept takes the form of four aluminum panels suspended alongside the glass pieces. They are pierced with abstract silhouettes inspired by symbols of good luck, including the horseshoe, wishbone, and four-leaf clover, as well as symbols from Peruvian, Chinese, and African cultures.[4]
In 2008, the Arts in Transit program commissioned a work for the MetroLink station. Titled Grandfather Clocks and created by Carol Fleming, the glazed ceramic sculpture is reminiscent of the old, regal railroad clocks.[5]
