Convention Center Site Public Art to Find New Home in Reston
Structures may be part of Comstock's Reston Station.
A steel art installation currently in downtown DC will have a new home in Reston.
Six structures titled Art Walk, which form a canopy over a pedestrian walkway at the old Convention Center site at New York Avenue, H Street, 11th and 9th Streets NW, have been in place since 2006.
The installation is being moved to make way for CityCenter DC, a one million square foot mixed-use development going in that spot. Groundbreaking for that project is April 4.
