(from the City of Phoenix press release, 18 November 2008)

Councilman Tom Simplot, along with representatives from the Heard Museum and METRO Light Rail, will unveil a point of interest sign located at the Encanto Central station (Central Avenue and Encanto Boulevard) designating the Heard Museum as a point of interest. The event will take place at 1 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 20, at the Encanto Central station.

The Heard Museum point of interest sign will highlight the station’s proximity to the museum along the light-rail system. The Encanto Central station art reflects the nearby Heard Museum by using pre-Columbian, Indian and modern motifs. One section of the art has towers, which reflect high-rises on both sides of the station.
