Immerse yourself in a brand-new, free outdoor gallery of museum-quality art, steps from the Farragut West and Farragut North Metro stations. Art Ave features 13 large sculptures and a series of ground floor window artworks that spans three iconic blocks downtown—from Lafayette Park, through Farragut Square, and up Connecticut Avenue.
Among the sculptures, you’ll find interactive, playful artwork like giant instruments and music notes. Turn the hand crank on these pieces to bring them to life with music and lights.
Explore Art Ave Day and Night
Many sculptures illuminate with colors at dusk, so you can explore Art Ave day and night. Each vivid artwork serves as a beacon to the next and invites a continued journey that summons imagination, interaction, and discovery.
Learn more about the artworks created by local, national, and international artists by taking a self-guided tour. Scan the QR code on one of the artwork signs to get started. The tour is powered by the STQRY Guide app (iOS or Android) and is available on-demand from your mobile device, making it easy to explore Art Ave at your own pace.
