Bike Tour of the South West Gateway Art Installation

Sunday, September 21st Only

Sunday 1 - 2:30 pm

DC mural and mosaic artist G. Byron Peck leads a bicycle tour of the recently installed 1,200 foot-long mosaic artwork decorating the South West Gateway. Peddle along many of the waterfront sites that inspired the mosaic’s imagery, then travel down Maine Avenue to view a second mural located near the Corcoran School of Art. Student apprentices with City Arts, a non-profit that mentors underserved youth to create public art, contributed to both works. Presented by City Arts.
