MARTA stations light up with art

Six MARTA stations will showcase sculptures by Atlanta artists this month, starting with a kick-off ceremony at Five Points Station on Wednesday.

The sculptures, some of which light up, use synthetic Corian material, and will be on display at Five Points, Peachtree Center, Arts Center, Lindbergh Center, the Dome and Decatur stations.

The installations are entirely funded by C.H. Briggs, a vendor of building materials, according to MARTA.
