Ribbon Cutting Dedication Ceremony—April 28, 2010

Second Lady Dr. Jill Biden joined Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton, Councilmember Jack Evans, NMWA Founder Mrs. Wilhelmina Holladay and Niki de Saint Phalle’s granddaughter Bloum Cardenas to cut the dedication ribbon. Representatives from the DC BID, DDOT, DC Office of Planning and the NMWA family also participated in the dedication.

Dancing in the Streets!

Beginning March 26, 2011, Niki de Saint Phalle’s larger-than-life sculptures return to New York Avenue, N.W. between 12th and 13th streets. Come experience the first and only major outdoor sculpture corridor in our nation’s capital by women. Her colorful and joyous works of art will remain on view through the end of October 2011.


In Spring 2010, the National Museum of Women in the Arts unveiled the first phase of a bold public art project. Sculptures by renowned women artists will be exhibited in changing installations on New York Avenue—right at NMWA’s front door. The first phase of the New York Avenue Sculpture Project features four monumental sculptures by French-born artist Niki de Saint Phalle (1930–2002).
