Arts In Transit East End Line
After a rigorous selection process that included METRO staff, art specialists and—most importantly—members of the community, artists have been selected to enhance stations of Houston's East End Line. These artists are part of the team responsible for final design and construction of the stations.
The artists include:
Dan Havel
Houston, Texas
Dan Havel doesn't just make art—he makes statements. Physical. Big. Dramatic. Interactive. Havel and collaborator Dean Ruck most recently earned attention for Inversion, a temporary installation at the Art League Houston that took two old houses and literally turned them inside out.

Jesse Sifuentes
Houston, Texas
An art professor at Texas Southern University, Jesse Sifuentes has an intimate knowledge of, and deep regard for, the communities that thrive in the shadow of downtown. The East End already enjoys the mural The East End - The Birthplace of Houston on the side of the Rex Supply Co. building, which Sifuentes designed and managed as a collaboration among several East End muralists and students from Austin High School and the University of Houston.

Ryan Geiger
Houston, Texas
Ryan Geiger looks out his window and draws inspiration from the birds who inhabit in his inner-city yard who manage to thrive in a city where concrete and steel coexist with bayous and magnolia groves. His work captures the dynamism and paradox of their survival.
