Art and ETS

Main page content begins here

ETS has some fabulous works of art throughout the Edmonton Transit system.

Including art along the LRT system and throughout the city is one of the ways we're trying to make the transit system more interesting for the people who use it! It also gives us an excellent opportunity to support the arts community.

Continuum

Artists: Cezary and Danielle Gajewski
Location: Century Park LRT Station

Selected for Century Park LRT Station through a juried process, Continuum was created by the industrial design team of Cezary and Danielle Gajewski and consists of three spheres suspended in alcoves at the station entrances. Covered with hundreds of maple leaf forms of water-jet cut aluminum, it is an airy bubble of near-nature, visible from most angles by the many commuters who move throughout the building.

Parade 2

Artist: Gabe Wong
Location: Lewis Farms Transit Centre

Rendered in an abstracted, geometric style, Edmonton-based artist Gabe Wong wanted to create images that remind and inform the viewer of the diversity of Alberta wildlife as well as highlight the richness of our environment and the need to conserve and enrich it. Parade 2 is a companion piece to Parade 1, displayed at Meadows Transit Centre.

Immense Mode sculpture

Immense Mode

Artists: Dawn Detarando and Brian McArthur
Location: Southgate Transit Centre

"Immense Mode" is a brick and glass mosaic sculpture chosen to be the public art component of the new Southgate Transit Centre through a juried selection process. Artists Dawn Detarando and Brian McArthur used thousands of hand-fired bricks to create the sculpture. Each leg measures approximately 20' x 12' x 4' and weighs 21,000 lbs.

The River: Bear mural at University Station

The River

Artists: Carla Rae Taylor, AJA Louden, Dana Belcourt, Matthew Cardinal, and with community collaboration (iWeek 2018)

Starting from the top of the stairwell, “The River” flows through the seven landing stairwells at the University LRT station, closest to the HUB Mall entrance, and provides a vibrant and welcoming space that honours the rich history of the local landscape and animals.
