The Trinidad Neighborhood Association is currently seeking artists interested in gaining exposure, and creating beauty that will be seen by residents of, and visitors to, the Trinidad neighborhood. Artists would, with input from the community, develop and execute concepts that celebrate the history, and spirit of the Trinidad neighborhood. The art would be on display permanently in the area's police and fire callboxes that stand on street corners throughout the neighborhood. The Art on Call project, which is administered by Cultural Tourism DC, would cover the cost of materials. Artists who live or work in, or near, the Trinidad community are especially encouraged to apply (but we are seeking applications from any interested individuals or groups). Amateurs, as well as professionals (and youth groups) are encouraged to apply. Please send emails to TrinidadNeighborhood@gmail.com, or call 202-631-8254 if you are interested. You can also attend tomorrow night's Neighborhood Association meeting:
Tuesday June 9th
7-8:30pm
Trinidad Recreation Center
1310 Childress NE

We're doing the same thing in the neighborhood to the south (Capitol Hill North--Fla Ave, 8th St, G St, CSX tracks). Those interested are encouraged to contact Debbie Loftin at deloftin@hotmail.com.
Thanks.
This sounds like a wonderful project! Perhaps students of Gallaudet University should pitch in since a good number of Gallaudet students live in Trinidad so Trinidad is part of Gallaudet University!
when is this stupid idea going to die?
who pissed in your corn flakes.....
i think it's an excellent idea, great way to bring art into the community.
