Crystal City itself is an OUTDOOR art gallery! From DoubleTree Hotel/Army Navy Dr to Hyatt Regency/Crystal Dr are 14 "canvases" commissioned by CCBID. See all - GREAT way to spend a Sunday afternoon!
Janis Goodman's "Emerald in Action" holds the honourable first position on CCBID's CRYSTALart (Art Walls) Trail. Lose yourself in the cool palette and energetic brush strokes; you've officially begun!
Check out a bike to get around Crystal City (and the CRYSTALart Trail) more easily. Your next stop should be right up 15th St S - M.M. Panas' "Lunar Scape" series will soon flank you on either side
"Fire" by Christine Hayman is one of a cluster of Art Walls right within sight - don't skip any!
You can't possibly miss this CRYSTALart "canvas" on 18th St. Tory Cowles' "Azure" infuses a lovely vibrance to the cityscape, particularly on drab rainy days!
Notice how "Prism" (by Anne Marchand) plays off of "Radiance" (by Valerie Theberge)? Both sides of this 18th Street S thoroughway maximise upon the concept (and actual presence/absence) of light.
Bold. Rhythmic. Playful. Connected. This CRYSTALart Art Wall exhibiting Susan Finsen's "Engage" is a perfect introduction to Crystal City, greeting you as you exit onto 18th Street S.
Take a break from the CRYSTALart Trail; have some Peel & Eat Shrimp off the HH menu. Delish! Then walk over to 18th St S to search for Steed Taylor's "Labor Line" Road Tattoo. Fading... see it yet?
Anne Marchand's been commissioned for two Art Walls; "Ellipsis" is on Hyatt Regency's Clark St side. Where's the other? Under an overpass.
The Crystal Drive façade is the southernmost Art Wall, showcasing Michele de la Menardiere's "Emerge." Of the 19 panels, DV might be akin to "Pretty Little Insomniac;" which resonates most with you?
