Four new artists have been commissioned to create work to be displayed over the winter at Workington Railway Station.
Artists Kate Lavender, Loki Syme, Nanette Madan and Zoe Forster are all based in north and West Cumbria.
They will be making work inspired by the town of Workington on the theme of connections.
It is part of Workington Art Trail, an Arts Council England and Cumberland Council-funded project aimed at bringing footfall back to the town centre and showcasing what the area has to offer.
The four artists have been funded by Workington Town Council.
It is being produced by Cumberland Council and Anne Waggot Knott.
The installation at the station is supported by Community Rail Cumbria and Northern Rail.
Workington Art Trail showcases artwork co-created by commissioned local artists and community groups, aimed at helping bring footfall back to the town centre.
Artists Alison Critchlow, Melissa Davies and Rosie Galloway-Smith have been collaborating over the past six months with Cumbria Deaf Association, Victoria Junior School and Moorclose Community Centre to create paintings, poetry and textiles.
Their work will be displayed throughout the winter in the windows of Workington Library, Muffin Break and HSBC, launching towards the end of next month.
There will be a free map and website to help visitors enjoy the trail and learn about each piece as they go.
