The station's art is being created by artist Tom LaDuke. The untitled installation will consist of images from which concentric lines expand outwards like rings on a tree. [3]

This station is located at the northeast edge of Downtown Culver City, a major retail, entertainment and arts district. Major attractions include the Hayden Tract, the Museum of Jurassic Technology, the Actor's Gang Theater and the Kirk Douglas Theater.
