“We’ll have one exhibit on Signer’s Island, the 56 signers’ memorial,” said Catherine Townsend, with the Trust for the National Mall. Other exhibits will be found near landmarks, such as the Tidal Basin, Jefferson Memorial, the Smithsonian Metro station and the Lincoln Memorial.

“They’ll be temporary installations that run for about a month and they’ll symbolize different stories that these artists would like to share,” said Townsend. “Stories, fresh perspectives, on how to commemorate a person or a place or a movement.”
