Capitol Hill is home to many works of art painted on the exteriors of homes and businesses. We are continuing to add murals, as we find them – the most recent in February 2023, including new Statehood murals in an alley just off the 1300 block of H Street NE. Some murals are well known to the community – others may be familiar only to their immediate neighbors or have been recently added. While the Tour can be enjoyed from the comfort and safety of your home, we hope that many will use this opportunity to walk our streets and alleys. Art is always best appreciated in person; particularly true in this case where the scale and placement of the work made photography a challenge.
Our friend and neighbor, Helen Betts, has been inspired by the Mural Tour to search out additional murals across the District, photograph, and post them.
