The Golden Triangle Business Improvement District and the D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities will beautify the K Street Gateway, according to a release.
Solo artists or teams can submit designs for a permanent work of art that will be installed on the 2100 block of K Street near Washington Circle, according to the release. The project aims to beautify the space and make it feel more accessible to residents, pedestrians and visitors.
“Pedestrian and vehicular traffic from K Street or Washington Circle greets visitors with a combination of asphalt, metal and cement that does not reflect the vibrant character of the neighborhood,” according to the release.
Up to five semi-finalists may be selected and offered a $4,000 stipend to create a site-specific proposal. The selected artist will have a total $480,000 budget to produce the work.
Professional artists and teams from anywhere in the U.S. can apply before the June 24 deadline, but preference will be given to local artists, according to the release.
