4 Vibrancy - Reflect the energy of the surrounding community and enhance the station s existing strengths Station Design Inspiration Art and Design have been integrated throughout the improvements to enliven the station, reflect the character of the surrounding community, and contribute to passenger wayfinding. Building off of the Uptown s arts and entertainment character, BART has defined a design theme of Performance; Past Present and Future for the 19th St/Oakland Station. This theme is meant to embrace the history of the area as a well as reflect the communities existing character. The design theme will be integrated into the architectural features of the station, such as the fare barriers, guard rails, painting; and also be the inspiration for the public call for art. photo credit: enviroinstitute.org photo credit: The guardrails and fare barriers will be constructed of glass to improve the visibility and aesthetic. The safety glass will have a design on the inter layer; the image is both transparent and mirrors its surrounding.

6 Future Call for Artists Permanent Art in Three Stairwells - BART will be soliciting public art for the wall areas at the three stairwells shown below. These would be permanent light box art pieces related to the stations design theme and representative of the surrounding community. Temporary and Permanent Art in Old Phone Booths - The old pay phone booths at each end of the station offer unique opportunities to reflect on the vibrant visual arts scene in Oakland. BART will convert some of these into a series of display spaces that can be offered to local artist groups for programming and rotation. - The spaces could also incorporate permanent two-dimensional work to ensure the areas remain aesthetically appealing in between temporary displays.
