Smithsonian Design Fellow and HGTV “Ellen’s Design Challenge” Winner Vivian Beer Designs Public Art for New Hyatt Place Arlington/Courthouse Hotel
This year's $100,000 winner of HGTV's "Ellen's Design Challenge" artist Vivian Beer created Dressed Up And Pinned art is installed outside the new Hyatt Place Arlington/Courthouse Hotel.
The artwork is the latest addition to Arlington's internationally-noted public art collection, managed by Arlington Public Art, which is part of Arlington Arts, a division of Arlington Economic Development (AED). The recipient of seven Public Art Network (PAN) Awards from Americans for the Arts, Arlington Public Art works to directly commission artwork to be integrated into various County capital improvement projects or, as in this case, supports developers to directly commission public art as negotiated through the site plan (private development) process. Arlington's history of developer-funded public art projects stems from County planning initiatives begun in 1979 with the commission of Nancy Holt's Dark Star Park in Rosslyn.
