Northeast D.C. Five artists and 40 kids will be finishing up the biggest mural in D.C. -- on a 500-foot stretch of a retaining wall in Northeast -- and there will be both a party (a "mural jam") and a session for other muralists to fill in blank spaces on the wall. The mural is titled "From Edgewood to the Edge of the World." The Edgewood Mural Jam will nearly double the size of public art piece in one day as 100 artists have been invited to contribute their art. The mural walls are visible from the Rhode Island WMATA metro station on the Red Line and along the new Metropolitan Branch Trail. Participants work on the portion of the mural behind Safeway.
