 Deep Ellum Station (View station art images) |
Railroads formed Deep Ellum, but much has changed since then. The brick structures that remain have been home to businesses as diverse as the people who frequent them — blues and jazz clubs, meat markets, pawnshops, restaurants and bars, vaudeville theaters, sheet metal and auto repair shops, as well as houses of worship. With the area's oral history fading, artist Julie Cohn has taken an empty canvas and made it beautiful.
Opened: September 14, 2009
Parking available: No
Nearby destinations and attractions: Latino Cultural Center and Deep Ellum arts and entertainment district, home to many popular restaurants, specialty shops, clubs and apartment complexes
(The Deep Ellum Gateway Project website opens in a new window)
 Baylor University Medical Center Station (View station art images) |
This station brings together two divergent groups, Baylor Hospital and Deep Ellum. At Baylor, one might find a doctor or a pastor — someone who takes the pulse of the community each and every day. Deep Ellum represents a different kind of pulse, the celebration of life through art and music. Artist Karen Blessen has united these two perspectives, making the connection between the life experiences of Baylor and the life expressions of Deep Ellum. The result is a station with a pulse all its own.
Opened: September 14, 2009

 Fair Park Station (View station art images) |
Fair Park contains the largest collection of Art Deco buildings in the world, built for the 1936 Texas Centennial Exposition. Back then, trolleys traveled along Parry in front of the main entrance to the fair. Soon, DART Rail cars will do the same. In creating their vision for this station, Brad & Diana Goldberg — the artists responsible — have paid respect to the rich history of the area as well as the surrounding neighborhoods.

Hickman, the station offers a visual representation of the events and people of south Dallas. Conceived by artist Emmanuel Gillespie, the station includes a "Walk of Respect" that uses symbols to represent words such as unity, respect, wisdom and so on.

 Hatcher Station View more high resolution images |
This ever-changing neighborhood once contained a natural body of water, Wahoo Lake, and a cotton mill, owned by black landowner Joe E. "Boots" Wiley. African Americans often sought work at the mill. Knowing the area's history, artist Vicki Meeks created a wonderful backdrop for the station. A mural in the form of a community quilt — featuring work from area artists. This mural reflects the community, both past and present.

 Lawnview Station View more high resolution images |
The art for this station recognizes the area's early settlers, offering riders the chance to step back in time. Artist Leticia Huerta's design pays homage to the wildlife native to the surroundings—a total of 190 different birds, bats, foxes, coyotes and other creatures that call these woods home. The art also reflects the trees indigenous to the area, including pecan and maple. Since the location once served as a junction where Native Americans and pioneers traded with travelers, Huerta also incorporated elements such as beadwork into the design.
Projected opening: December 6, 2010
Parking available: 381 spaces
Nearby destinations and attractions: Lawnview Park, Keeton Park Golf Course, Ascher Silberstein Elementary School and Historic Parkdale Community
 Lake June Station View more high resolution images |
The theme for this station is derived from the area's agricultural roots. Many years ago, pioneers called the place home. Their life revolved around a cyclical calendar of planting, harvesting and preparing for the next season—a life of balance. These early settlers balanced life between intensity and serenity. Artist Viola Delgado captured this concept beautifully by using a mix of organic shapes, natural materials and vibrant colors.
Projected opening: December 6, 2010
Parking available: 472 spaces
Nearby destinations and attractions: Rhodes Terrace Park, Rochester Park, DeVon-Anderson Park, Keeton Park Golf Course and Henry B. Gonzalez Elementary School
 Buckner Station View more high resolution images |
The southeast community has a rich heritage, one with a long link to rail. Historically, the railroad promised a new way of life for settlers, an influx of new experiences and ideas. This design echoes rail's past—using the brown and gold colors you might see at an old train stop, combined with rivets and metalwork from the industrial age. Despite its historical focus, artist Leticia Huerta has given the station a modern feel. It's inspired by the past but living in the present—a station that urges riders to look back as they move forward.
Projected opening: December 6, 2010
Parking available: 536 spaces
Nearby destinations and attractions: Dal-Tile Corporation, Pleasant Grove Branch Library, Salvation Army, Pleasant Grove Shopping Center, U.S. Post Office, Eastfield College (Dallas County Community College District) Pleasant Grove Campus and the Southeast Chamber of Commerce
