Both accomplished artists and producers in their own right\, the brothers built S/H/E as a place — their warehouse studio on South Hill St\, LA— and as a state of mind: making music as catharsis. 2023 kicked off S/H/E’s trilogy of LPs\, with MOONSHOTS (LP1) marking the duo’s ethereal beginnings\, and SUNSTRIKES (LP2) introducing guests such as Jeff Parker and earning a co-sign from the legendary David Byrne. March 2024 saw the release of an even more collaborative EP\, South Hill & Friends\, with features from Karriem Riggins\, Maxo\, Buck Raines\, and Sofía Campos. To promote these projects\, the brothers have pulled a variety of stunts\, including a 24-hour live-streamed jam\, free DIY rooftop shows\, and running an actual marathon for a music video. After sold out dates in LA and NY\, a live session on KCRW\, and the band’s SXSW debut\, the brothers are gearing up for the final installment of their trilogy and most ambitious project to date\, EARTHBREAKS (LP3).

Seating on a first-come\, first-served basis. Limited seating available. Preferential seating for first 20 people who show their TAP cards at Metro Art table.\n  \nOn February 23\, Metro Art Presents will host a free screening of Geoff McFetridge: Drawing a Life followed by a conversation and audience Q&A with L.A. writer Alissa Walker and artist Geoff McFetridge in Union Station’s historic ticketing hall. A conversation with McFetridge and author Alissa Walker will follow the screening. The film is a poetic and intimate look into the life and work of one of the most visionary artists of his time\, while also exploring the universal questions of what makes a fulfilling life. \nGeoff McFetridge’s art is everywhere. From countless gallery exhibits\, sides of buildings\, title designs for films by Sofia Coppola and Spike Jonze\, to collaborations with Vans\, Warby Parker\, Nike\, and more\, he has undoubtedly influenced the way the world looks. No stranger to the public transit space\, McFetridge spent several years developing a high visibility artwork for one of Metro’s K Line stations. \nThe antithesis of the archetypal artist fueled by drugs\, alcohol\, and chaos\, what sets the prodigious McFetridge apart is his quest for balance as a father\, ultramarathoner\, and designer. In Geoff McFetridge: Drawing a Life\, fellow artist and director Dan Covert offers unprecedented access into Geoff’s multicolored world\, painting an intimate portrait of a man whose work is guided by intention and authenticity. \nDeeply thoughtful and illuminating\, Drawing a Life reveals the details of McFetridge’s life and work while delving further into the universal questions of what makes a fulfilling life and how to live with intention in the limited time we all have. \n> View the trailer\n \n \nThroughout his long and diverse career\, Geoff McFetridge has worked across a vast array of mediums from poetry to animation\, graphics to 3D\, textile and wallpaper to paintings. McFetridge has exhibited in galleries worldwide including Louis Buhl\, Detroit (2022); Gallery Target\, Tokyo (2022); Cooper Cole\, Toronto (2021); Half Gallery\, New York (2021); V1 Gallery\, Copenhagen (2020); Blum and Poe\, Los Angeles (2020); PlayMountain\, Tokyo (2013); Heath Gallery\, Los Angeles (2011) and New Image Art\, West Hollywood (2006). Included in the Beautiful Losers exhibition (curated by Aaron Rose and Christian Strike) which debuted at CAC\, Cincinnati in 2004\, he has\, also\, been featured in exhibitions at the Walker Art Center\, Vancouver Art Gallery\, Yale University Art Museum and Geffen Contemporary at MoCA Los Angeles. As a designer\, he has worked extensively with brands including Hermes\, Vans\, Undefeated\, Patagonia & Apple just to name a few. Recently he has made public works for LA Metro & SOFI Stadium LA. Winner of the 2016 Cooper-Hewitt Smithsonian National Design Award and the AIGA Medal in 2019\, McFetridge received his BFA from the Alberta College of Art & Design and an MFA from the California Institute of the Arts. \nAlissa Walker is a writer based in Los Angeles covering transportation\, housing\, urban design\, public space\, and environmental policy. She is the 2021 recipient of the Steven Heller Prize for Cultural Commentary for her writing on design and urbanism\, and played herself on the traffic safety episode of Adam Conover’s show Adam Ruins Everything\, “Adam Ruins a Murder.” Alissa lives in L.A.’s Historic Filipinotown neighborhood\, where she is the co-host of LA Podcast\, an avid ice cream consumer\, and a mom to the city’s two most enthusiastic public transit riders. \n> For more information\, visit drawing-a-life.eventbrite.com URL:https://art.metro.net/event/drawing-a-life/ LOCATION:Union Station\, 800 N.

An additional tour will be offered this summer–details to be announced. \nWhile the Pacific Electric Railway’s Red Cars are one of the best-known fixtures of Los Angeles rail history\, whose name evokes trolley trips to the beaches or mountains for Angeleno history buffs\, the Yellow Cars of the Los Angeles Railway Corporation (or LARy) were equally important. \nFeaturing materials sourced from the Metro Dorothy Peyton Gray Transportation Library and Archive\, Metro Art’s exhibition in the Union Station Waiting Room Gallery\, The Yellow Car and Los Angeles\, offers a fond look back at two foundations of public transit in the region: the Yellow Cars and the transition to LA’s first years of bus service. Together\, these early rail and bus lines shaped the Metro system we have today. \nLearn about the history of the Yellow Cars\, how the system connected to Union Station\, and the experience of this LA architectural landmark in its early years. This tour will be co-led by Chris Salvano\, Digital Resources Librarian in the Metro Dorothy Peyton Gray Transportation Library and Archive\, and Barbara Lashenick\, Metro Art Docent Council Founder. \nThe tour will begin at the Information Kiosk\, just inside the Alameda side of Historic Union Station\, and involve minimal walking. Following the tour\, guests are encouraged to grab lunch at the station or wander across the street to El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument. \nTour is free. \nRSVP on Eventbrite. \n> Learn more about the Yellow Car exhibition\n> Learn more about the Waiting Room Gallery at Union Station URL:https://art.metro.net/event/yellow-car-tour/ LOCATION:Union Station\, 800 N.

Twelve of the 63 artworks are currently featured in the Union Station Passageway. URL:https://art.metro.net/event/journeys-continued/ LOCATION:Union Station\, 800 N.
