Art on Call in Dupont Circle |
Art on Call is an effort led by Cultural Tourism DC to use Washington DC's remaining antique fire and police call boxes to create public art across the city. The reinvented call boxes exhibit the unique culture of their neighborhoods and range in style from the traditional to the avant-garde. Recreated with an artist's unique touch, the boxes entice residents and visitors to explore the city's distinctive communities.The Dupont Circle Art on Call project, entitled Diverse Visions | One Neighborhood, explores neighborhood history and local fire and police events. It also celebrates this diverse political, artistic, and intellectual community by presenting original artwork by 22 local artists featuring the neighborhood’s hub, the Circle, and the beautiful Dupont Memorial Fountain designed by Daniel Chester French.
