Bikesnick — how does one get to that spot if they don’t have the link? The drop down menu doesn’t list art? Thanks for the info about the case sensitivity. That’s a big help!

All of the standings for Pointless Prizes can be seen by replacing the appropriate hashtag at the end of this link:

freezingsaddles.org/pointless/hashtag/publicartfinder

At the top of that link it says:
“To see your own, simply go edit your URL bar and replace parkfinder with whatever you want. Only letters and numbers are allowed, and it is not case sensitive (so ilovekittens, ILoveKittens, and i-love-kittens will generate the same results).”

Bookmark the link for your reading pleasure later.

Thanks – I figured that out once I got there and read that. There are a lot of new people to FS who did not have a clue about this, me included!

Mural of Buck Hill, a jazz musician, looking over the corner of 14th and U. Not sure if it still is but at the time it was painted it was the tallest mural in DC at 70 ft tall!

A whole bunch of these have been freshly deployed across Virginia, including two in Reston. One is at Wiehle-Reston East Metro station. This one is at Reston Town Center.

“Named Stones” on Four Mile Run Trail at Bluemont Park, Arlington, VA. These are so cool! One day I’ll have to go back and find the rest of the besides “Sleeping Moon”

The Holy Martyrs of Vietnam church – address is at 915 S. Wakefield St., but this view is from the 9th Street side. What drew me into the parking lot was the statue under the bell tower, but as I got further in, I noticed lots of other art, including what looks like a prayer garden, plus some relief sculptures lining the fence surrounding the parking lot. Quite a delightful find. You can see more photos on my Strava feed here.

We’re not going to get enough warmth and sunshine for the trails (which are essential to this ride) to be safe. Cold we can handle – slick isn’t fun.

I’m leaning towards next weekend as the forecast looks much better – Feb 20 or 21. If you have a preference for which day, let me know!

Thank you everyone for staying flexible. The art will still be there when the conditions are safer to ride!

I vote for Sat, Feb 20. On Sunday I would like to ride with David for his GPS ride.

Thanks to [mention]bikesnick [/mention] for unlocking the code for the #publicartfinder (NoT cAsE sEnSiTiVe) leaderboard.

At the midpoint of the BAFS2021 season, we have 49 participants to date. Holy PublicArtFinder Palooza!

[mention]consularrider [/mention]is on top of the leaderboard (though has a few questionable submissions of buildings that allegedly have art inside of them still under review by the faceless cabal), with [mention]Cathym [/mention]and [mention]Serdar [/mention]tied for 2nd place, and [mention]Kelley W [/mention]holding on to 3rd place by a thread as [mention]Laura R [emoji210] [/mention] [mention]Karen h [/mention] [mention]David jiang [/mention] are in hot pursuit. But the dark horse may yet be [mention]Catedrew [/mention]on her trike and yard art exploits!

I will update the leaderboard standings based upon extra points awarded to date, and post that on a spreadsheet to this thread. In the interim, Ride on and find public art!

P.S. disregard my standing, as I am not eligible to compete in my own sponsored pointless prize;-)

Stumbled upon this switch box mural — jelly undulations— while waiting for a traffic signal light at Dawes Ave and Seminary Road near the NVCC campus.
The artist, http://www.jennifersartgallery.com received a grant from the city of Alexandria to created designs using her “Dance of Life” series images for three traffic control box wraps around the West End of Alexandria.

Find the other 2, post them with their locations here, and earn some extra points!!
