Specifications include, but are not limited to: Our commissions range from large scale exterior sculptures, installations, suspended works of art, mixed media, paintings, illustrations, graphics, photography, furniture and even poetry. The program always reserves at least 50% of its commissions to DC artists or artists represented by DC galleries to ensure that our tax dollars are reinvested back into our local community. Even artists from outside of D.C. typically contribute to our local creative economy by working with local fabricators, printers, equipment rental outfits and installers – some of whom have even taken on emerging artists as assistants for installation and as mentees. All in all, we have a profound and deep gratitude for the artists, architects, construction teams and community who contribute to each commission.
