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!

This mural went up in response to police violence against African Americans, and particularly against Black children. In Hyattsville near Streetcar 82. [ATTACH=CONFIG]22412[/ATTACH]

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

Former WB President Jim Wolfensohn was a great patron of the arts and also put some great tapestries in the MC building atrium (if they are still there)

This is one panel of a 4-5 panel mural on the back of Alamo Draft House at Loudoun One in Ashburn. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get my bike into the photo and still get the photo. So it may be a DQ, but that’s okay. It was a good ride.

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.

A great find, and near to several portals into the Multidimensional Upper Holmes Run wormhole! But how about Dali’s Ode to Newton in Fairview Park North?!:-0

Took this at George Mason University, outside of the art building. The pole is actually waving if you look close.

At the Pony Barn Recreation Area (not a park, Cathy) in Reston. These artistic bike racks were partially paid for by Reston Bike Club. They mirror the history of the area.
