Join us to celebrate the unveiling of Edra Soto’s striking new public artwork, La Distancia / The Distance — a sculptural outdoor bus shelter that also serves as a functioning RTA transit stop.

Program highlights include:

  • Ribbon cutting ceremony
  • Remarks from Councilwoman Jasmin Santana, Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority CEO India L. Birdsong Terry, Greg Zucca from The MetroHealth System and Edra Soto
  • A musical and dance performance by Djapo Cultural Arts immediately following the remarks
