FS2022 #PublicArtFinder Pointless Prize

Part B for today

The Irving Schwartz library has been closed for some repairs and renovation. Supposedly it will re-open tomorrow but I didn’t want to wait to get this photo when people would see me lying on the ground. Shades of Boomer.

This hanging work is called Helix Nebula and is by Michele Gutlove. One picture shows the top tube on my bike. The other shows the work more in focus. You can’t have everything in one photo, right?

Mural painting inside the tunnel under Colts Neck Rd in Reston which is part of Ben Volta’s “Thoreau’s Ensemble” which adorns the entrance to both sides of this tunnel as well as inside. During BAFS2021 I entered a photo of one entrance, but not the inside so hoping this one will count for 2022! More photos in my Strava for today.

Part A today. This is the entrance arch at a local fitness center and water park. I think it might be lit up at night so I’ll have to go back to check it out later.

Part B for today. All of a sudden the bus shelters near my mom’s house are getting all dolled up with art. Very exciting to see. There are more photos in my strava feed so you can see details, but this is the ‘money shot’ with the bike.

Everywhere I turn around here, I see more murals. This is a huge one right near the port of entry.

This mural is across a walkway from the Waverly Street Gallery, 4600 East West Highway in Bethesda.

Part B for today. This mural is at the Stanton Street Bridge which is the crossing point to/from Mexico. It’s called “ElPasoPortAll” – a play on words with Portal being a word for door and Port (for) all hoping that the port of entry (that’s what they call it) truly is for all. The area around the bridge is starting to come back to life now that the COVID restrictions on crossing have been lifted somewhat.
