Mural Tour
Posted on September 17th, 2021 by Elizabeth Nelson
Capitol Hill is home to many works of art painted on the exteriors of homes and businesses.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. To make it easier to find what you’re looking for, we’ve prepared this downloadable handout and the Hill Rag had an article and map in the October 2020 issue.
We are continuing to add murals, as we find them. We can’t add them to the Rag map, post publication, but they are included in our handout. 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.
