Wurtele Thrust Stage – Guthrie Theater: A Christmas Carol – Minneapolis, MN

Five bus shelters and three rail crossing houses were adorned with designs created by local artists!

Metro Transit 

Across the system, there are now 100 permanent pieces of public art and 20 temporary works, including wrapped bus shelters.

When graffiti appears on transit, employees remove it as soon as possible. At the same time, efforts to prevent costly and time-consuming damage from occurring in the first place are also expanding. In recent weeks, five bus shelters and three rail crossing houses were adorned with designs created by local artists.
History suggests putting art on these fixed objects will make them less of a target for graffiti and vandalism. The work can also brighten people’s days, as one artist experienced even before the paint was dry.
On her last day of painting, artist Jennifer Davis was thanked by a train operator passing by her near the Green Line’s Prospect Park Station. “It made my day,” Davis said.
Artist Taylor Berman painted crossing houses near the Blue Line’s 38th Street Station and south of U.S. Bank Stadium Station, where the Blue and Green lines split.

The artists who created designs recently installed on bus shelters include:

Martha Bird (Franklin Ave. and Chicago Ave.)
Alyssa Stormes (Bloomington Ave. S. and East Lake St.)
Briauna Williams (Regent Ave. N. and Brooklyn Blvd.)
Mandel Cameron (Lyndale Ave. and Lake St.)
Briauna Williams (Zane Ave. N. at 65th Ave. N.)
