The DC Creates! Public Art Program in collaboration with the Washington Area Metropolitan Transit Authority, Art in Transit Program (WMATA) and the Takoma community, have selected five artists to create a site-specific proposal for the Takoma Metro Underpass.

The goal of the project is to create a vibrant and inviting gateway to the Takoma DC community. The colorful artwork will provide an “avenue” for residents, commuters and visitors to enjoy and admire.
