Foggy Bottom outdoor Sculpture exhiBit

may 3 - octoBer 25, 2008

History of Foggy Bottomthe Foggy Bottom historic district sits on approximately

three acres in the heart of the nation’s capital. First platted

in 1768, Foggy Bottom soon became the site of the city’s

light industry and its near-by factories encouraged a cluster

of working-class homes which are preserved and

lived in today.

in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, irish,

german and african-american laborers helped shape

Foggy Bottom, and the rest of Washington, sharing a pride

of craftsmanship and the dream of a better life in america.

early residences were individually constructed flat-fronted,

narrow brick row houses some of which were built by

well-known architects such as a. h. Beers and

Norman grimm. the area is listed on the National

register of historic places.

today, the historic district is what you see — a quiet

enclave of private residences. the whole of Foggy Bottom

includes major institutions, museums, the John F. Kennedy

center for the performing arts, the State department, the

Watergate, and george Washington university to name a

few. Welcome and enjoy the journey through

our neighborhood.

Artas you come across each sculpture you may wonder why

contemporary art in an historic district? For much of its life

Foggy Bottom was home to skilled carpenters, ironworkers,

bricklayers and builders who worked in the city’s factories

and at its trades. the artisans of the industrial age would

have appreciated the skills of the artists whose work you

are seeing today.

exhibited here are sculptures that carry on a great tradition

of public art that goes back to a time in early history

when art was not separate from everyday life. each

sculpture brings new stories and memories to our historic

neighborhood and through them enlarges our awareness

of the houses, streets and the relationship of art to our

lives. We encourage you to stop, look and share the artists’

imagination as they bring us myths, stories, social issues,

and history as told through color and form, lines and circles,

horizontals and verticals, symbols and reality.
