Looking East towards the 18th Street Underpass, pedestrians and cars enter the Crystal City, VA neighborhood and have access to Metro across the street from the "Prism" mural. The mural spans 160' of the underpass creating a colorful pedestrian walkway and drive by. The Sheraton Hotel is situated on the corner of S.Eads and 18th Streets and has a side entrance to 18 Eads Bar and Restaurant. Many thanks to the Sheraton Crystal City Hotel Management for offering their facilities to assist the artists in creating the mural.
Store to Door Container held all our work tools over the course of the month, giving us the needed space to store paint and materials on a daily basis, the container sometimes working as a portable office. Thanks to Tom Johnston and the staff for support with the mural project! You folks are the best!
Two coats of a urethane, finishes the surface of the mural and gives it a soft satin sheen that helps protect it from the elements.
