Artist Information

The Anacostia BID has partnered with Busboys and Poets to organize the creation of a “Drive Thru Art Gallery” for the Anacostia Passage Project located in Historic Anacostia. The vision is to create a successful, aesthetically pleasing “Drive Thru Art Gallery” that serves as a Declaration of Progress that identifies the richness of the fabric of our communities, our history, our passion to effectively vitalize our future and the conspicuous beauty of our surrounding environment. The “Drive Thru Art Gallery” brings the Anacostia business corridors to life with art. Follow the curated map of artwork and businesses throughout the streets of Anacostia. As cars, bikes, mopeds and pedicabs go through the “Drive Thru Art Gallery” they will be immersed in the world of art in Anacostia.
