Station Art

A Collection of Public Art Use this guide to plan your tour of Convention Center Station. Expressing the Dynamic Energy of Dallas This station posed special challenges because of its site beneath the Convention Center. The designers wanted to capitalize on the opportunity to convey the spirit of Dallas to convention center visitors and local riders alike. The station's color scheme features warm colors in the architectural elements, accented by cool colors in neon lights. Lines of green neon move in arcs across the ceiling, expressing the dynamic energy of Dallas and creating a focus on the commissioned artwork, a light well. Landscaping and curving bands of concrete also foster a sense of place. Together, station design and art create a high energy, unified environment and a total experience. Full Circle by Frances Merritt Thompson Photographic digital mural print in a circular 10-foot diameter illuminate concrete light well covered by tempered glass. The light well incorporates a symbolic armillary sphere, an ancient instrument which provided travelers a working model of the earth and heavens in relation to their places of observation. The sphere refers to Dallas' emergence as a world-class city and suggests movement through space and time, by repeating the station's green neon arcs and red direction lines. A collage of images also features an 1872 lithographic map of Dallas and various symbols including a Tejas Indian warrior and Pegasus, the flying red horse, to reflect layers of Dallas history.
