The Arlington Global Service Station, a classic auto service station, has become, thanks to input from neighborhood artist Johnny Lapham, a work of public art landmark in the heart of Arlington’s Cultural District. The service station’s owner Abe Salhi was inspired to bring art to his establishment when he heard about his neighborhood’s designation as Arlington’s first Cultural District. He cooked up a design with Lapham, an artist and long-time client who lived just down the street, and now the station’s canopy and upper walls are embellished with colorful circles and stripes out of a Dr. Seuss story. Launched in 2019, Garage Band has become a popular "after party" to cap off the annual townwide Porchfest programmed by Arlington Center for the Arts.
