FS2021 #PublicArtFinder pointless prize

[Boomer Cycles]

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!

Snowflakes on W&OD

I’m surprised that there haven’t been multiple entries of this fund given its location right alongside the W&OD trail at Bluemont Park in Arlington VA

This bronze sculpture by Brad Morton, inspired by the first words of the preamble of the U.S. Constitution…

A very timely reminder and submission in light of the recent events in our Nation’s Capitol

Godzilla is big in Japan… and DC too! This is on Q St and there is a fun article in the Post about how it was inspired by a boy. I don’t know what this mural is titled but how appropriate for a sushi place!

Rule clarification – if the art is less than a mile from my house but my ride is longer than a mile, does that count?

Today’s find is at the intersection of Fair Lakes Circle and Fair Lakes Parkway. I’ve always loved this piece. It’s big and bold and friendly.

The “mile” rule pertains to the minimum length of your bike ride, not the location of the public art. So go for it!!

I’ve always admired this sculpture which you can see off the Fairview Park loop in Falls Church. The light was just right this morning.

This sculpture is at 19th & H St. NW, just in front of the World Bank HQ.
