  • Brief Description

    The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority's (WMATA) Art in Transit program invites Artists/Artist Teams with a demonstrated history of completing complex, permanent, public art projects to submit their qualifications for a permanent public artwork for the Dupont Circle Metro station's iconic North Entrance.

    The selected Artist/Artist Team will develop an aesthetically attractive, site-specific public artwork that captures WMATA’s mission, and reflects the artistic, cultural and/or historical interests of the surrounding communities. The public artwork is to be implemented on the sloped surface within the circular opening of the North Entrance escalator well and integrate elements of biophilia.
