This sculpture – basically a street map of DC -- is located in the popular Adams Morgan neighborhood. I can even see our block on it.

According to the artists: “Community Grid encourages conversation and interaction as viewers are invited to identify their own location as well as the placement of monumental landmarks throughout Washington, DC. The design creatively weaves together the diversity of DC as an abstract quilt of the nation’s capital city. The DC city street map is a symbol of strength encompassing a patchwork of colors and neighborhoods that connect communities together. This recognizable and iconic city grid celebrates the coming together of people and purpose in a sacred place at a special time, the annual Cherry Blossom Festival.”

This is the time of year for Washington’s wildly popular Cherry Blossom Festival, but unfortunately it has once again been canceled due to the pandemic. The public has been asked not to enjoy the blossoms at the Tidal Basin but instead to view “Art in Bloom,” 26 cherry blossom sculptures painted by local artists and placed in locations throughout DC and adjacent neighborhoods.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly
unsharp.
