Murals All Over DC
Happy Labor Day!!…It was nice to see TBD, (all over washington) blog pop up in my alerts for murals with their post “The Perks of Being a Wallflower“. They posted 20 photos of murals in DC some of which I’ve mentioned before and others I have fond memories of, such as this one from Chief Ike’s Mombo Room, which is still on our list of dance places to check out when the gumption gets us out dancing that is. This photo must have been taken during off hours because normally this place is packed with dancers shakin’ their groove things to cool 70’s + music.
I’ve written about this fantastic mosaic mural in National Harbor by Cheryl Foster. I’m still kicking myself that I didn’t have my camera to take pictures of it when I saw it the first time. I love that the artist used actual crab shells and other Chesapeake touch-and-feel items to really give recognition to the theme. The counter facing mural on the opposite side is just as well done and I think I even like it better. I’ll have to go back just to get that picture.
I’ve seen this mural many times in Georgetown and it always delights.
Check out TBD for the other 17 murals as well as many other articles, like the very humorous Funniest videos yet of Hurricane Irene. Also don’t forget Art Around Us and Mural Locator, also on my blogroll for other examples of public art in DC and around the world that you can help document.
