National Testimonials
“The vibrant 5x5 project is the start of a new era of tradition.” - Interview Magazine
“ I came away with a better understanding and appreciation of DC culture and got to see aspects of the city which I never really knew existed ... After a whirlwind weekend of public art, it's clear that the DC art scene is on the rise, and has earned a spot alongside the creative capitals of Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York.” - Blackbook Magazine

Five national and international curators were selected to work with five artists each to create a public artwork ultimately producing twenty-five installations.
