Post your #PublicArtFinder pic here! But please do so responsibly by using the “small” option on your Tapatalk menu!!
Rules (which are more like general guidelines [emoji849]):
1. Ride your bike a least a mile to any art form (loosely defined) that is freely accessible to the public
2. Take a picture of said art with a bicycle somewhere in the frame, and upload to this thread, Strava and/or the FS Facebook page (but please include the link here so that it can be found).
3. Hashtag your ride #publicartfinder (not CaSe SeNsItIvE) on Strava if you want to appear on the FS2021 PP leaderboard https://freezingsaddles.org/pointless/hashtag/publicartfinder
4. Public Art rides/pics must be posted within 72 hours, so as to allow all a fair chance to play, and avoid sandbagging at the end of FS2020 to game the PP competition.
Entries will be judged by some faceless cabal on totally subjective criteria that may include use of creative objects (like a bike), composition, light, artistic flair, witty captions, great stories, # of quality submissions, and/or # likes, kudos or dislikes. Extra points if you disclose the exact location of the art form so that others may enjoy it.
Now go find your Public Art form!

Ducks at Nellie’s sports bar at 9th and U St. The mural is by Lisa Marie Studios who also painted the Love mural in Blagden Alley and the 51st state mural on Eno wine bar in Georgetown. They have a characteristic style of using a rainbow of colors.
Many of the Fairfax County Libraries have a book statue out front. This Alice in Wonderland book is at the Pohick Regional Library oh, but you might not see it if you don’t drive through the book drop off line.

Golden Triangle BID has been doing a windows initiative to cover some of the storefronts. These are the ones that were recently installed at the building at the corner of Conn and L St NW. Blue Spring and Late Summer Garden by Nikki Painter.

You complete me mural, part of the 51st state mural series, in an alley by Buchanan and 14th St.
Not sure if it’s too late for traffic box murals but I found one today at Logan Circle which sort of complemented the earlier mural.

I do find it rather funny that the traffic control box says, “The Fight Against the Establishment Continues”. What’s more establishment than traffic controls? lol
