Visitors will also have the opportunity to provide community feedback on a new mural design by 52 O Street visual artist Lisa Marie Thalhammer. This mural will be located across the street from the Art Studios at Open Arms Housing (57 O Street NW) who provide permanent homes with a welcoming and supportive environment to women who are homeless. This project is funded by the D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities Public Art Building Communities Grant Program.
