A new exhibition at 19th St. Oakland Station has been installed in the light boxes that replaced the original phone alcoves as part of the 2023 station upgrades.
Intended for rotating art displays, the glowing lightboxes featuring site specific reinterpretations of artworks by four Bay Area artists. Filled with florals, organic textures, and scenes inspired by the natural beauty of the Bay Area, the exhibition brings a burst of spring into the heart of downtown Oakland.
Each of the works, created by Courtney Cerruti, Liz Hernandez, Carrie Lederer, and Kija Lucas, center botanicals, inviting riders to pause and experience a moment of inspiration as they travel through the station.
The project was led by the BART Art Program that engaged curator Lisa Solomon, a local artist and educator who is actively involved with local Bay Area art and artists.
MTC and BART are transportation partners.
