DC Public Library recently released a call for artists for design of a “Heritage Wall” that will be a prominent, permanent feature of the new Lamond-Riggs Library. Library officials are now seeking community input on a vision for that heritage wall. Please take some time to answer a short community questionnaire by February 11 to give your input. The link to the community questionnaire is here.

Summary from the questionnaire:

DC Public Library is commissioning a large-scale artwork for the new Lamond-Riggs Library (5401 South Dakota Avenue NE, Washington, D.C.). The artwork will be a permanent installation on the “Heritage Wall,” a two-story partition that frames the main staircase and will be highly visible to customers entering the library as well as pedestrians and drivers along South Dakota Avenue.

The chosen artist will be asked to incorporate the community’s vision and values into the artwork. The Library is gathering community input to help inform the direction of the work.

Please answer the three questions below. All responses will be shared with the artist.

This questionnaire will close on Feb. 11, 2022.
