Below is an announcement that might be of interest to Bloomingdale's business owners -- and a great way for them to fight our growing graffiti problem.   Thanks!

Good afternoon ANC Commissioner.
       
My name is Nancee Lyons and I coordinate the MuralsDC program for the DC Department of Public Works. The project installs original works of art on walls to replace existing or deter future graffiti.  I would like to make your constituents aware of this initiative as it is free, can save them money, enhance the presence of their establishment and even possibly boost the value of their property. I would be more than happy to come out to an upcoming ANC meeting to discuss this initiative, or feel free to distribute copies of this flier (I can send one directly to you as an attachment as well).
  
This is only for commercial property owners, but residents who have an idea for a mural that they would like to see on an establishment in their neighborhood should encourage those property owners to participate and to reach out to me directly (we can only communicate with the property owner). While these aren’t commissioned murals, meaning we don’t paint exactly what the business owner or community wants, the artist will typical incorporate community feedback in his design.
  
Feel free to call or email me with any questions. Thank you!
