Of course everyone reading this is aware of and excited for the Rhode Island Avenue Fall Fest, this Saturday, September 22, from Noon to 4pm. And we’ve been working hard to bring it all together, which is why we’re very excited to announce an art project that has been in the works for some time.
At the Fall Fest local artist Candy Schibli will install the piece Tap In (an interactive map):
Learn about the history of the neighborhoods of Rhode Island Ave. Literally, unplug some of the hidden treasures with an interactive map showcasing some of the main roads of this area. Made from paper mache, it holds inside of its walls brief historical facts of the area as well as other additional fun surprises.
The piece will be installed on a storefront just a couple doors down from Rita’s. And while you can ‘Tap In’ to the map and get piece of history and other fun suprises, it’s not something you can take away from. You’ll also be able to contribute and submit your own pieces of history about the area as well – so please bring your memories and historical facts!
Below is a sneak peak of the piece coming together. I’m not sure about you, but I can’t wait for Saturday and the Inaugural Rhode Island Avenue Fall Fest!

I really enjoyed talking with Candi at the Fall Fest and loved her piece!
