Recalling History: The Mount Pleasant Art on Call Sculptures:
Take friends and family on a walking tour of Mount Pleasant viewing nine bronze sculptures housed inside Mount Pleasant’s historic fire and police callboxes
Art on Call is a citywide effort, overseen by Cultural Tourism DC, to restore abandoned fire and police call boxes and transform them into neighborhood icons combining art and heritage. Mount Pleasant was the very first neighborhood to complete the Art on Call Trail. Placed inside nine call boxes, artist Michael K. Ross’s bronze sculptures tell the story of Mount Pleasant – from early Native Americans to today’s multicultural neighborhood.
