METRO to Unveil Art Shelter Designed by Local Students

Garden Oaks Montessori Students Display Their Art in Transit

A pop of color is coming to the Garden Oaks area. Friday, the Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County (METRO), along with students and staff from Garden Oaks Montessori Magnet School, will unveil a nearby bus shelter that has been transformed into a work of art.

 

The bus shelter, located at northwest corner of North Shepherd Drive and Garden Oaks Boulevard, will feature an environmental science themed design created by the students of Ms. Ding Tian's art class. The stop was chosen because of its location along METRO's 27 Shepherd and 36 Kempwood routes and because it is frequently used by students and their families.

 

WHEN: Friday, Nov. 30, 2018 at 2:30 p.m.
WHAT: Student Art Bus Shelter Unveiling
WHERE: 4001 N. Shepherd Dr.
(Northwest corner of N. Shepherd Dr. and Garden Oaks Blvd.)

 

Pubic transportation is more than just a means of travel, it is the thread that ties the communities together - uniting people, cultures and neighborhoods as one. Bus stop shelters are perfect canvasses to inspire and reflect the local character of the communities and neighborhoods they serve.
