The 19-year-old D.C. native has spent the summer working with the D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities Summer Youth Employment Program to create a 300-foot mural in the Edgewood neighborhood. The group is hosting a “mural jam” Saturday to bring together local artists to work on the mural, then plans to host an unveiling on Aug. 22.
What is the mural going to look like?
The title of the mural is called “From Edgewood to the Edge of the World.” It’s going to be a lot of different colors depicting the Metro stations — the Red Line, Blue Line, Yellow Line, Green Line, all the different colors. It has faces of different people and artists going throughout the train system, then towards the end is a globe and that’s the edge of the world.
