STATION ARTWORK
➢ Public art is an essential component of the station design.

➢ The Construction Authority launched the “Station Design and Art
  Review Program” (SDAR) in order to allow City staff and community
  representatives to work with the Construction Authority and project
  station artists to provide recommendations for the future station artwork.

➢ The station artwork concepts that were developed through the SDAR
  process were summarized and sent to city staff and each SDAR
  committee in January 2017.

➢ These artwork concepts were incorporated into the Foothill Gold Line 2B
  Design-Build package.

STATION ARTWORK

➢ In Fall 2019, the four station artists for the Glendora to Pomona segment
  were brought under contract with KPJV to develop their final design
  documents for the station artworks.

➢ Each artist completed their 100% submission of design documents in
  February 2021, in conjunction with the 100% station construction
  drawing package.

➢ The station construction documents for the art program are consistent
  with the themes and approach that each artist presented at the most
  recent community meetings that took place in early 2020.

COMMUNITY MEETINGS IN EARLY 2020

In early 2020, the Authority held three community meetings where the station artwork
concepts and samples were displayed to the public.

Station Artist –    MICHAEL HILLMAN

                                                        Glendora Home refers to a brand or
                                                        oranges that were grown and packed in
                                                        Glendora.

                                                        industry.

                                                        The art and station design will draw from
                                                        the history, culture and particularly the
                                                        landscape of the area.

San Dimas Artist Concept: “A
                         SENSE OF PLACE”
Station Artists – EUGENE DAUB & ANNE OLSEN DAUB

                               The Daub team views San Dimas as a unique
                               town with a fascinating history nestled against
                               the foothills of the San Gabriel mountains.

                               Many things about the area have changed
                               since the advent of the railroad and the citrus
                               industry, but not the natural beauty of the town
                               and its setting.

                               The town has a specific sense of place born of
                               a unique history of the land and the connection
                               with flora, fauna, water and geography. There
                               are no less than 25 parks and countless trails
                               and hiking paths.

                               The artworks created for this station celebrate
                               the wonders of the parks, mountains and local
                               history.

 carved and embellished walking sticks commonly used
 by hikers.

Station Artist –   BLUE McRIGHT
                     Blue will create an artwork that consists of three sculptures that
                     symbolize the connection between three important destinations near
                     the station - Downtown La Verne, The University of La Verne and
                     Fairplex.

                     The artworks are located in the station plaza, highly visible to both
                     train riders, pedestrians and motorists on Arrow Hwy. They will
                     visually link the platform to the plaza, engage viewers and become
                     an identifying landmark at the La Verne Station.

                              57 sets of portraits and quotes will be selected and
                              featured on glazed tiles, using the tilography process.
                              These images will be incorporated into ramps near the
                              station platform.
