In 2000, METRO and the Cultural Arts Council of Houston put out a call for artists interested in the honor of designing the section of rail concourses serving the local arts center. Based on her portfolio, extensive art practice, and educational background, Maggi Battalino was chosen to be responsible for the look and feel of the Houston Museum District Light Rail Station.


 
The Museum District Station, a 7-1/2 mile segment of the Houston Metro Light Rail,
is one of the cities most ambitious experiments in civic art.


 
The stain glass design for the overhead canopy began as a site-specific painting,
1/3 the size of the finished glass you see in the station.


 
The full color image of the painting was then printed on a layer
of film and sandwiched between layers of glass.
