"Eye of Pride" ground mural by artist Lisa Marie Thalhammer

In celebration of the kickoff of WorldPride DC 2025, Arlington County Government welcomes all to the unveiling of artwork from muralist Lisa Marie Thalhammer and projection artist Robin Bell. Lisa Marie Thalhammer's ground mural, "Eye of Pride" is a bold visual declaration of Pride that will endure long beyond this month’s festivities. Widely known for “The LOVE Mural” in DC’s Blagden Alley, Lisa Marie’s dozen or so rainbow themed murals in DC have become social media photoshoot mainstays. She designed an artwork for World Pride 2019, and a commemorative Stonewall label for Stoli Vodka the same year. Enjoy a Pride-filled weekend at the Ellen M. Bozman Government Center Plaza, which will host a Block Party on Saturday, May 17 from 6-10pm with a DJ, giveaways, fun yard games and more!

*The Block Party will move to May 31 in the event of rain.
