Apparently the Georgia Ave-Petworth metro station will be getting public art of some kind. In response to David Jannarone's inquiry on the Petworth listserv, Alexandra MacMaster of the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities wrote:
The Georgia Avenue - Petworth Metro Station is progressing very nicely. We are now working with WMATA to revise the artist's engineering plans and get Metro's approval to proceed. As you can imagine there are many issues when securing a large sculpture in the public realm and these drawings are crucial to the safety and longevity of the project. I am hoping to have approval in a month or so from Metro. There are many stages before it can be installed, but one of the major stages is the production stage, which also has several components... sculpting a small scale model, sculpting actual size model from the miniature, fabrication in bronze, and preparation of the ground on metro's site.
Based on all the related components at the present time we are looking at installation to be Spring/Summer 2006.

Unless, of course I'm an idiot and I'm actually reading the said listserv at the moment. (Blush)

Could you provide an address for the Petworth listserv? I'm interested in checking it out. Thanks.
