photo by Craig Garrett Thanks to Cassandra for sharing the awesome The Endangered Animal Public Art Project from District Bridges: 'Public art encourages people to move around a space differently and encourages them to engage with the world around them.
“Public art encourages people to move around a space differently and encourages them to engage with the world around them. This is just one of the reasons why Cleveland Park Main Street , a program of District Bridges, has joined forces with Woodley Park Main Street and the Capitol Hill Arts Workshop to bring ten new works of public art to the Connecticut Avenue NW corridor in Washington, DC.
This public art project is an outgrowth of a similar project on Capitol Hill. A father, out walking with his two children, used the single lettered streets in his Capitol Hill neighborhood to teach them the alphabet. “K is for Kangaroo, B is for Butterfly” he would often repeat to them. This inspired the idea to mount works of art on the lampposts and he approached CHAW about bringing the idea to life.
