Welcome

Brand new public art is coming to Columbia Pike.

The public artwork will be included on the canopy of the new Transit Stations. But first, we need you to help the selected artist, Spencer Finch, get to know Columbia Pike.

We invite you to:

  • Learn about the selected artist, Spencer Finch, and the new Transit Stations.
  • Help Spencer get to know Columbia Pike by sharing a color memory that represents Columbia Pike to you.
Meet the artist: Spencer Finch

"Spencer Finch is best known for ethereal installations that visualize his experience of natural phenomena. His investigations into the nature of light, color, memory and perception manifest in watercolors, drawings, video and photographs. Compelled by what he describes as ‘the impossible desire to see oneself seeing’, Finch holds up an enchanting prism between the outer world and inner thought. He distills his observations of the world into glowing abstract color but also diverts them through cultural and historical filters."  (Artist biography courtesy of Lisson Gallery)

The Columbia Pike transit stations

The 23 brand-new Transit Stations offer a unique opportunity to engage with the community and bring public art to the entire length of Columbia Pike.

The Transit Stations are a major feature of the County’s planned premium transit network connecting Columbia Pike, Pentagon City and Crystal City. The network will offer service that is fast, frequent, reliable and easy to use, with simplified bus routes, increased weekday and weekend service, and a new “one-seat ride” from Skyline to Pentagon City-Crystal City.
