Abstract:

In 2009, artist Tom Stanley was commissioned by the Charlotte Area Transit System to create art integrated into the Tom Hunter Station for the upcoming LYNX Blue Line Extension light rail. To learn about the community through the perspective of local children, Stanley visited schools for the project with the theme of “home” in mind. The station’s art incorporates stencils of the students’ houses and street scenes, and poems about their neighborhoods.
