The DC Department of Public Works (DPW) is looking for mural sites in chronically tagged areas of the city to be considered as part of its MuralsDC program for the summer of 2012. MuralsDC is a partnership between DPW and the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities (DCCAH). MuralsDC was created by Ward 1 Councilmember Jim Graham to help replace illegal graffiti with artistic works, to revitalize sites within the community and to engage young people in a legal activity that promotes respect for public and private property.
