At night, it glows with light charged during the daytime. By day, the abstracted image appears to be in motion in changing shades of pearlescent green.
Take Christian Moeller’s Quill in Rosslyn, an arrangement of nearly 20,000 3 ¼-inch reflective discs arranged in a field of slotted aluminum panels. The pieces use dozens of different types of materials - from asphalt to zinc. You’ll find public art that you can splash in and play on, that you can drive on or alongside of, that you can walk under or through.
Today, large-scale sculptures, murals, multimedia constructions and art installations are scattered throughout the county’s neighborhoods. It all began in 1979 with the commission of Nancy Holt’s acclaimed Dark Star Park in Rosslyn, which masterfully combines landscape architecture, sculpture and astronomy to create Arlington’s own little Stonehenge. They were commissioned as part of county capital improvement projects, sponsored by developers or initiated by communities through neighborhood planning efforts. This internationally renowned collection of public art - reflecting the community's values, diverse traditions and civic pride - has been recognized with seven Public Art Network Awards (PAN) from Americans for the Arts.īold and beautiful, inspired and innovative, the works adorn sidewalks, buildings, Metro stations, green spaces and courtyards at every turn. Human in scale and global in vision, more than 70 permanent public artworks make Arlington an artistic superstar.
