Penn Quarter Living gives us a heads up that there is a not very well publicized public meeting scheduled tonight to discuss a proposal to install a large mural at one entrance of the Gallery Place/Chinatown Metro station. The Chinatown Community Cultural Center is 'proposing a “large-scale Chinatown mosaic mural” for the 7th & F St Metro entrance, otherwise known as the Verizon Center entrance. The proposal will be presented by Martha Jackson Jarvis, who painted the mural for the Anacostia metro station,' says PQL. If you're the sort of resident who likes to complain bitterly about not having input on public art installations you deem to be ugly, these are the sort of meetings you need to start attending. Tonight's meeting is at 6 p.m. at the CCCC.

What about scenes from the Boxer Rebellion?
Or Sugar Ray Leonard in some boxer shorts?
You've got TWO AND A HALF HOURS, people. If you're taking the metro, you're already too late.
She created the Music of the Spheres in Van Ness. I like her stuff.

Haven't peeked at the mural design, but Martha Jackson-Jarvis is an outstanding visual artist.
Her work isn't painted, it is mosaic (and it is really great.) Here's a detail of her mural from the Anacostia Metro: http://www.wmata.com/community_outreach/metroarts/artwork/green/anacostia_1.cfm
(Funny how Metro lists this as "to be built" even though it has been there for years now. Minor Metro fail I guess.)
