Sanford – A SunRail coach car has been transformed into a rolling art gallery. SunRail riders and others will get their first glimpse beginning Thursday afternoon. The project is called “Art Is Moving” and is a privately funded initiative conducted through a partnership of leading arts groups. It features the work of artists across Central Florida, including artists in every county served by SunRail; Orange, Seminole, Volusia and Osceola counties, as well as the City of Orlando. The kick-off of the “Art Is Moving” program also coincides with the special Saturday service to the Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival and other major venues.
More “Art is Moving” information:
- The inaugural trip of this coach car will be the 1 p.m. southbound train out of DeBary on Thursday, March 16. It will run three round trips.
