DC Might Burn After All: Your Help Wanted

After we posted our story about the marvelously creative display of Rome's coliseum burning (see the video in our previous column), we received a message from William Herbig of the National Capital Planning Commission, letting us know that the NCPC is looking for new, creative ways to honor American history.

There will be a forum on Beyond Granite: Global Approaches to Public Art, Placemaking, and National Commemoration on December 8th and the public is invited.

The National Capital Planning Commission and its partners are beginning to explore alternative methods to honoring America’s most significant people and events. These might include temporary public art installations (much like the burning coliseum).
