Public Art & Metrorail Tour: Grove Central & Douglas Road
About this Event
Adjacent to one of Miami's oldest neighborhoods, Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs presents artworks at the newly refurbished transit hub, multi-use development and linear park Grove Central at the Coconut Grove Metrorail Station. The tour will feature public art commissions including those by by Asser Saint-Val, Octavia Yearwood and Amani Lewis, Juan Andrés Ledesma Bohl, and Nicolas Lobo. Alexandre Arrechea's murals commissioned by The Underline will be accessible and on view at the nearby Grove Market area. A portion of artist Dale Eldred's 1983 commission "Sun Stations" will be on view on the platform of the Coconut Grove Metrorail Station.
Next, visitors will travel one stop on the Metrorail south to Douglas Road Metrorail Station. Please note, guests may need to purchase a Metrorail ticket and rates will apply. In collaboration with Miami-Dade County Department of Transportation and Public Works, Metrorail's unique intersection with The Underline provides a dynamic view of art in transit hubs, and allows easy access to more public art commissions along the rail line, including Felice Grodin's major artist-designed fence entitled GIANT GREEN ANEMONE at Douglas Road Metrorail Station. A monumental commission by Mette Tommerup along with works by Antonia Wright and GeoVanna Gonzalez will be visited at the adjacent Platform 3750 Frankie Shannon Rolle facility across US1.
