It’s shaping up to be a great week for lovers of art and mass transit. This evening, L.A.-based artist Doug Aitken and his art train project Station to Station: A Nomadic Happening will pull into Union Station for a one-night-only event.

And this week, REDCAT is kicking off its 10th anniversary as CalArts’ downtown center for contemporary art with Radar L.A., an international festival of contemporary theater taking place Sept. 24 to Oct. 1. The festival’s second edition features 18 innovative works by leading artists from Los Angeles, Latin America, and the Pacific Rim. Go Metro to activate your artistic side and save on select Radar L.A. performances.
