Seventeen artists have been <br />commissioned to add artistic touches at the stations, including paver patterns, decorative railings, <br />etchings on glass windscreens and an enameled mural on the side of the light-rail maintenance building. <br /> <br />Fundraising continues to expand the program, said David Allen, art and transit administrator for the <br />project. <br /> <br />Laurie Blake is at lblake @startribune. com. <br /> <br />© Copyright 2003 Star Tribune.
