What was once a desired path for Native Ameri- cans and Colonial settlers has now grown into a formidable city emerg- ing Oz-like from the flat, red-hued Piedmont. Charlotte is a city with a diverse history of gold, agriculture, textiles and banking. It has an im- pressive tree canopy that belies the miles of concrete below. It is steeped in Southern traditions, yet embraces growth and an influx of people and businesses. It is a city with a developing plan for expansion and a com- mitment to beauty and function, as evidenced in the art which has been integrated into an expanding public transit system. Patrons utilize this transit system for commuting to work, attending a sporting or cultural event or taking their families to an uptown parade. As they speed along, journeying from their homes to their destinations, they may engage in a dynamic art experience by observing the intention- ally designed stations and art placed along the way. -
