To celebrate the six murals painted in 2019, MuralsDC teamed up with the District Department of Transportation and the DC Circulator bus for a first-of-its-kind MuralsDC tour last fall. The 45-seat bus was packed with artists, representatives from the tourism community—like Cultural Tourism and Destination DC, art curators from the Smithsonian—members of the media and other guests.
The Circulator was unlike any mural tour the District has ever experienced, complete with a tour guide to provide historical tidbits on the neighborhoods they passed through. It was also perhaps the only mural tour to include the muralists whose works were being featured giving passengers the rare treat of hearing the artists discuss their process. The tour of all six 2019 murals also included its own music playlist, featuring songs the artists said best expressed the mood of their murals.
