Our second window artist, Emily Sloat Shaw began her installation today over at 2902 Georgia Avenue (at Harvard St). Emily is doing a painting directly on the surface of the window, and other drawings on paper will hang behind it. The imagery is referencing different points along the Georgia Avenue Heritage Trail.

Feel free to say hello while passing by in the next day or two while she’s there working!

The Georgia Avenue Window Walk is a temporary public art project that engages residents, businesses and visitors to the community by placing art installations in existing and vacant storefront spaces along the lower Georgia Avenue Corridor. The works on view will comprise of contemporary visual art and educational installations by local artists, organizations and youth groups.

The projects on display will tie back to the Georgia Avenue community, culture, or its history in some way. For more information on the history of Georgia Avenue click here>>
