Relax in Farragut Square this Summer

This summer, as you await the full Art Ave launch, grab a drink or meal nearby and relax in Farragut Square. Connect with family, friends, or colleagues at a bistro table in the shade of one of the vibrant pink umbrellas we added around the statue of Admiral Farragut. Or linger in one of the comfy Parisian-style garden chairs scattered throughout this beautiful green park.

Getting Around

Art Ave is centered around Farragut Square, just two blocks north of the White House, and is easily accessible on four Metro lines: Red (Exit at Farragut North), and Blue/Orange/Silver (Exit at Farragut West). The central location of the Golden Triangle makes it easy to get here whether you’re driving, biking, walking, riding a bus or train, or even flying here. For directions, use the Farragut Square address: 912 17th Street NW; Washington, DC 20036.
