    Art professor Michelle McAuliffe, ’02, won a design competition for a new mural on the Metropolitan Branch Trail (MBT) overpass above M Street Northeast in NoMa, near the NoMa-Gallaudet U Metro station. 

    The NoMa Business Improvement District (BID) issued an open call to artists in early this spring, and received submissions from a wide variety of local artist. A committee of BID staff and community volunteers selected three finalist designs to be put to a community-wide vote. McAuliffe’s design was selected, and was installed this past summer. It was formally dedicated on Thursday, September 15.

    McAuliffe’s winning design features an array of human hands which spell out “NoMa” in American Sign Language (ASL).
