A diverse range of site-specific artworks are integrated into the station. Learn about these artworks and exhibitions from Metro Art Docents\, who are available in the Waiting Room Gallery and by the public piano\, on Saturday and Sunday\, from 10 am to 2 pm. \n\nAbout the Artists\n \nAxon Orkestra is a cinematic fusion ensemble blending percussive strings\, soaring melodies\, and irresistible rhythms. Rooted in the musical journeys of its members across Eastern Europe\, the Middle East\, and North Africa\, the group creates an adventurous mix of original compositions and reimagined regional classics. Formed in 2016 in Los Angeles\, Axon began with late-night jam sessions among friends and evolved into a genre-defying collective. Axon Orkestra is Violinist Fabrice You (of FishTank Ensemble); Guitar Dusty Brough; Bassist Miles Jay\, (Youssou N’dour\, Nile Project)\, + Saxophonist Paul Bertin + Tupan player Marco Peris (Inspector GADJE) + Mandolinist Eva Scow (David Grisman\, Edgar Meyer\, Willie Nelson) with collaborators on saxophone\, tupan\, and mandolin\, Axon Orkestra delivers a dynamic sound that flows like a river through diverse musical landscapes. \n  \n \nQur’an Shaheed’s musical journey began in a family of musicians\, led by her mother\, Sharon\, a pianist and music school owner\, and her father\, Nolan Shaheed\, who toured with Stevie Wonder and was Marvin Gaye’s music director. Introduced to the piano at the age of four\, she trained rigorously\, laying a foundation of discipline and technical skill that has now evolved into a freer form of spontaneous\, genre-defying expression.

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.

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.
