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.

That's one place where the art installation could wind up when the project is completed by 2013, Comstock spokeswoman Maggie Parker told Washington Business Journal. There is also talk of installing the art along the W & OD Trail in Reston.
