Public Art in Shaw and Mount Vernon Square
SmART Streets is a fully funded community project administered by the National Trust for Historic Preservation to enliven the pedestrian environment surrounding the Convention Center through public art and good urban design. In 2005, the project will install art at three important neighborhood locations and develop design concepts to guide future planned streetscape improvements.
Come find out what's happening on the streets of Shaw and Mount Vernon Square on Saturday, July 23, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the Shaw Jr. High School Auditorium (enter on the north side of Rhode Island Avenue, between 9th and 11th Streets NW). Coffee and pastries will be available. For more information, contact Denise Johnson at 202/588-6278.
