The NoMa Parks Foundation is conducting an international design competition to transform four railroad underpasses in NoMa. The long hoped-for initiative will turn the underpasses at Florida Avenue, NE, and K, L and M Streets, NE, into stunning contemporary art installations. Qualifications are due May 9, 2014 and will be followed by a formal RFP issued to qualified entrants. Neighborhood residents could begin to see installation start as early as 2015. Full details about the competition can be found at www.NoMaUnderpasses.org.
By transforming these thoroughfares with a series of interactive design solutions, these underutilized spaces will become vibrant, dynamic and inviting for vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic. The NoMa Parks Foundation seeks artists and designers who will envision bold, creative approaches to the underpasses. Local artists are encouraged to apply.
