DESCRIPTION: multiple-component station art project in progress:
Two pairs of Hillman's free-standing "art columns" mounted on the station platform. Another two pairs are mounted at the Glendora Avenue intersection to the east and the Vermont Street intersection to the west, serving as station landmarks.
Hillman's installation will be fully visible when the Glendora Station officially opens in June/July 2025. Of interest is Hillman's nearby Historic Glendora Depots (2014), created with Citrus College students, at Glendora Avenue and W. Ada Avenue, one block away. (See also Hillman's Glendora Monument Wall (2007) and Pride of the Foothills (2014).
- 4 pairs of free-standing 18-foot high by 3-foot diameter oval-shaped sculpted concrete "art columns" or plinths, wrapped with glass tesserae tile murals
- 14 18-inch by 12-inch hand-glazed cuerda seca ceramic tile panels, mounted onto the station platform's canopy column bases
