NoMa may not be the first neighborhood that comes to mind when you’re thinking of how to celebrate Cherry Blossom season, but the NoMa BID has BIG plans to paint Northeast D.C. pink.
Starting Thursday night, March 24 through Sunday, April 3, local multimedia artist Robin Bell, best known for his social justice projections, is launching D.C.’s tallest art installation, a 150-foot light projection named “Vicissitude.”
Building upon his formal training as a classical printmaker, “Vicissitude,” is a dynamic work, changing just as the Cherry Blossoms do in real-life, always in a constant state of transition with variations tree-by-tree and branch-by-branch, vulnerable to the vicissitudes of weather.
Just as the blossoms are only here for a short time, “Vicissitude” is a temporary pop-up art installation. The exhibit will come to life for 11 nights only, from 7:45-10:30 p.m., beginning Thursday, March 24 through Sunday, April 3, and cast onto the facade of MRP Realty’s new Burton apartment building at 2nd and Florida Avenue, NE.
The best places to capture photos and video of the giant art installation are along the elevated portion of the Metropolitan Branch Trail where it crosses over Florida Avenue NE or the lobby bar of the Courtyard by Marriott Washington, D.C./US Capitol while sipping on special, cherry-themed cocktails.
Looking for ways to celebrate Cherry Blossoms by day?
The NoMa in Bloom celebration takes place on Saturday, March 26, at Alethia Tanner Park, 227 Harry Thomas Way NE. The event is free and runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The fun includes a 5K run with the NoMa Run Club, a curated makers market by Neighbors DC, which spotlights independent, woman-owned and POC-vendors, food trucks, live music by Too Much Talent jazz band collaborative, and kite flying. Claim your tickets for the free event here.
