Capitol Hill
In the shadow of the dome, Capitol Hill's murals navigate the space between power and community. Around Eastern Market and Lincoln Park, murals reference the neighborhood's abolitionist history, its longtime Black residents, and the political currents that make this zip code unlike any other in America.

Capitol Hill-based muralist known for warmly detailed scenes of everyday neighborhood life. Her Eastern Market series documents the market's vendors, regulars, and seasonal rhythms through a style that recalls both WPA muralism and contemporary graphic narrative.
Aniekan Udofia
"Lincoln's Legacy" near Lincoln Park takes an unexpected approach — rather than depicting Lincoln himself, Udofia painted the faces of the African American community leaders who shaped the neighborhood after emancipation, centering the people the park rarely commemorates.
Byron Peck
"The Hill" on Pennsylvania Ave SE was created in partnership with Congressional offices and local schools — a rare collaboration that brought together political Washington and neighborhood Washington in a single visual statement about shared civic identity.
