If not, it should get one.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what its founders say:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>art around is based in DC because that&#8217;s where the site&#8217;s founders are located.

Just about anything can be &#8220;mapped&#8221; if it is related to art and in DC &#8212; in this case. You check the criteria to the left for what you are looking and the map points change to meet those parameters. This is also like a Wikepedia for art. Once an image is uploaded, anyone can edit and change it. This is especially helpful if the work or the artist is unkown, like this <a title=\"Art Around Us\" href=\"http:\/\/theartaround.us\/arts\/unknown-poppies\" target=\"_blank\">Poppies mural<\/a> &#8212; one of the first ones I clicked. Coincidentally, I feel I know it intimately well, just not the artist or the name, but it&#8217;s right across the street from my son&#8217;s doctor. This is the parking lot in which I would haul myself to once or twice a week from VA, trying to get into DC right at rush hour, wait an hour and then go back in rush hour. Ahhh, those were the days. The artist&#8217;s name, I believe is painted on the bottom of the mural. I&#8217;ve admired this piece for quite some time. It is so much more lovely in person.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a title=\"Art Around Us\" href=\"http:\/\/theartaround.us\/arts\/unknown-poppies\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4219\" title=\"Poppies via Art Around\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/Poppies.png\" alt=\"Poppies via Art Around on Art Is Everywhere\" width=\"486\" height=\"201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/Poppies.png 900w, https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/Poppies-300x123.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 486px) 100vw, 486px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">This is a quick post today, but I encourage you to test drive this site.
