I stumbled across a wonderful piece of Arlington County public art today at Oakland Park, near Virginia Square Metro. This is called "Ridge" by the local artist Foon Sham. You can walk through it, and it's impermeable to rain. It's even a Pokegym.

After a far-too-long layoff, the New York Avenue Sculpture Project is back, featuring Mexico City-based sculptor Betsabeé Romero (b. 1963). This project is organized by the National Museum of Women in the Arts in collaboration with the DowntownDC Business Improvement District (BID), the DC Office of Planning and other local agencies. The project will run from Sept. 28, 2018, through Sept. 20, 2020 along NY Ave at 13th Street, NW outside the NMWA building.- 1 reply

Many cities are well known for their street art, murals, and graffiti. San Francisco's Mission District is well know. Buenos Aires is also a fine example. Please use this thread to post photos of street art from your travels with a notation of city and country.

Wow, it's amazing how things sometimes loop together when you least expect them to - last week, I'd never before heard of Linn Meyers. Then, thanks to Tweaked's post about her Hirshhorn Exhibit, I went and saw it, and familiarized myself with the artist. Now, this morning, while doing some research for this post about Long Bridge Park, I randomly stumbled across this page about public art in Arlington, VA, and found another work by Meyers: the etched-glass windows in the Courthouse public meeting rooms. This was completely by chance, and it was one of those moments when you're amazed by how small the world is. This video is worth watching, especially if you've seen the Hirshhorn exhibition - both Meyers works I've seen to date definitely have a "signature style," and it's one I find to be very visually appealing. This particular work is functional, as it provides for privacy below head-level, and openness above.

The 5x5 Project is a 16 week public art project being held across the District during the fall (2014), and sponsored by the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities (DCCAH). Five curators have chosen 25 artists (listed in the "Curators" drop-down menu) to participate in the second edition of this biennial event (5 x 5 2012). We stumbled across Glenn Kaino's "Bridge," a wonderful sculpture, while heading down to The Yards Friday night. Housed in an old, gutted Department of Transportation Naval warehouse at 270 Tingey Street SE, the piece is comprised of suspended "slats" forming a wavy bridge. The slats are contemporary arm casts of Olympic gold medalist Tommie Smith, known for his iconic "Black Power" salute on the medal stand at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics. We fortunately caught the piece as the sun was setting.
