Please check out the District’s newest plublic art piece, located at Langham Creek and Park Row.

The Energy Corridor District is now home to a stunning new public art project by artist DUAL, a featured participant in this year's Big Walls, Big Dreams festival!

DUAL transformed eight bridge end caps with vibrant, 360-degree abstract art centered around the theme of "energy."

This exciting installation adds a major pop of color and creativity to our landscape, demonstrating our commitment to public spaces and the arts. DUAL noted the project was "such a fun challenge, and an honor to add a burst of color to the district and let my work stretch further outside the city boundaries."

Be sure to look for these colorful new pieces as you travel through the Corridor—they are guaranteed to make your commute brighter!
