That is a super cool building at night, that doesn’t merit a second look during daylight. Makes me think that we should do a TyCo #publicartfinder by night ride once the weather warms up a bit more.

Some of the murals on the barriers in Adams Morgan. I like the one of the new DC flag outside of Tryst.

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!

I have a question. When I find more than one public artwork on one ride, they do not count as one entry, do they?

Thanks for your answer![/img]

O love this idea!

P.S. Notice “O”. That was a typo and I thought to let it be like “Oh, I love this idea!”

Well, despite the forecast saying “cloudy”, about the time we started riding it started raining hard again. We persevered over to the library where I took a photo of an untitled piece. I had taken a photo of it on Saturday but decided to use a different photo of art. But then, I got home and realized my bike wasn’t in the photo from today. So I’m invoking the “within 72 hours” rule for the photo with the bike but including today’s photo as it shows more clearly the reason my brain was foggy — weather related!
