New artwork brightens the South Dakota Avenue/Riggs Road NE corridor. The Parks Main Street, in conjunction with the Lamond-Riggs Citizens Association, oversaw the installation of art designs selected by local residents on six traffic boxes along the corridor. The ones in front of Art Place at Fort Totten are an especially nice touch. Combined with the sculptures, it feels like walking past an outdoor gallery on South Dakota.
Check them out.

I just want to share how much my 6-year old (and I) love these additions to the neighborhood. They are all uniquely beautiful works of art and we loved finding each one and discussing the designs, use of color and the emotions they evoke. Hope to see more throughout DC – has been such a fun way to get her excited about art!
