Washington, DC Murals

Public art is so much more than a way to beautify blank city walls. It tells the stories of our communities and supports local artists. It educates and entertains. It inspires us and celebrates who we are. In Washington, DC we are fortunate to have hundreds of murals throughout the city. Check out the following resources to help you explore – maybe the best new year’s resolution is to enjoy as many as you can.
