BOXER GIRL
Over Memorial Day Weekend Lisa Marie painted a 34′ tall by 15′ wide mural located at the corner of 1st & W Streets in the Bloomingdale neighborhood of NW Washington, DC. This project was funded by the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities, an agency supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts.
Thank you to everyone who has shown support for Boxer Girl! In October the D.C. Police reported that “there has been a 55 percent decrease” in crime since Boxer Girl was installed in D.C.’s Bloomingdale neighborhood in May 2009!
