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.

This spring, 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).
