Free Art Friday: The Art of the New D-Line Metro Stations (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On May 8, 2026 three new stations opened along the Metro D Line in Los Angeles, the culmination of many years of work and extending the subway’s reach along Wilshire Blvd and the Miracle Mile. At each stop, Metro Arts commissioned three different artists to create new works at the entrance, concourse, and platform levels, totaling nine monumental works in all. Each work is deeply connected to the history, culture, and institutions of the neighborhood the station sits in and many were created wit
Free Art Friday: Thierry Noir’s Berlin Wall in Miami (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One of my favorite places to bring a laptop and do some work in Miami is Ironside Café Bistro, a Mediterranean-Brazilian fusion café where I always enjoy my cortado with some home-made pão de queijo or a tapioca crepe.

Free Art Friday: From Public Enemy to Public Art — Reclaiming Chicago’s Gritty Roots (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As the Windy City endures the sweltering mid-July heat, it is impossible not to look back exactly 92 years ago—from July 19 to 25, 1934—when Chicago suffered its hottest week on record. This unprecedented heatwave was fueled by the devastating Dust Bowl era, an environmental disaster triggered by a severe drought and decades of aggressive over-farming that left the topsoil of the Great Plains completely bare. Fierce winds whipped the loose earth into massive, suffocating dust storms known as “Bl
