“Verdant Orb” Returns to the K Street Sculpture Pad!

Thursday May 8, 2025

John Ruppert’s “Verdant Orb” today made its triumphant return to the 400 Block of K Street NW! After getting a little, for lack of a better term, squashed this winter, the coated chain-link fence that invites the viewer to “reimagine where things begin and where they end” is back on the sculpture pad in its full form! Treat yourself to a walk (and maybe a snack from A Baked Joint!) and take a look at the aforementioned “Window Project”, the adjacent MVT Photo Walk featuring Marvin Bowser’s “Black Hair” and “Verdant Orb” today!

Verdant Orb was funded through DC Office of Planning’s “Streets for People” grant program and was sponsored by Mount Vernon Triangle CID in collaboration with HEMPHILL ArtworksThe Wilkes Company & Quadrangle Development Corporation.
