We’ve brought Go-Go, the official sound of the city, and the visual arts to you in this first of its kind initiative connecting local artists with GoGo legends to transform Anacostia’s scooter corrals into public art.
Launched in the spring of 2021 in conjunction with the 1st anniversary of Mayor Muriel Bowser’s signing the DC GoGo Bill, the premier ground mural was a collaboration of renowned local artist Luis Peralta and Wiley Brown, son of the famed Father of GoGo, innovator Chuck Brown.
Today, you’ll find scooter corral ground murals and dynamic wall murals throughout Anacostia, with more art and collaborations to come!
Each scooter corral and wall mural artwork have a QR code, so just scan with your mobile phone to create your self-guided tour from the public art around you.
You’ll learn about the artwork, the artists, and the local businesses to enjoy shopping locally along your tour route!
The Anacostia BID and partners are proud to be at the forefront of providing creative and innovative ways to connect communities. Through this dynamic initiative we encourage both residents and visitors alike to explore the ways we live, work and play in Historic Anacostia, the heArt of the District.”
