A panel will meet next week to review more than 100 submissions of potential station art for the Dulles Corridor Metrorail Project.
Artists from around the world have submitted work samples in the hopes of being selected to decorate a station in the first half of the planned 23-mile extension of rail to Dulles, project spokeswoman Marcia McAllister said.
She said the panel, which will meet Wednesday, is composed of local residents with expertise in the arts and knowledge of the local communities involved.
“It is the goal of the Metrorail Project, working with [the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority], to identify talent and artists who can really create pieces that really speak to the environment, that speak to Tysons [Corner], that speak to Reston,” she said.
The first 11.6-mile phase of the project, slated for a groundbreaking next year, will contain five stations.
