The Art of Snowflakes
Come to the Bluemont Junction Trail to view three 8-foot murals depicting snowy scenes for a very Insta-worthy experience.
Enjoy a fun, safe, interactive activity as you stroll in nature and post your selfie using hashtag #artofsnowflakes. Snowflakes are like Arlingtonians; both beautiful and unique, but united as a whole. Like us, no two are alike.
"Blowing Snowflakes"
Inspired by the joy of children blowing bubbles, as is often seen in our Recreation programs. In our version, a multitude of colorful snowflakes are fluttering across the painting. We invite you to step up and pose as if you are “holding” the wand and creating the snowflakes.
"Snowy Night"
Inspired by artist Vincent Van Gogh’s iconic “Starry Night” painting, this shows the dark sky filled with falling and dancing snowflakes over a tiny cabin. Can you “catch” one on your tongue?
"Portrait of a Snowman"
Inspired by artist Kehinde Wiley who painted “Portrait of Barack Hussein Obama” in 2018 and hangs in the National Portrait Gallery. Wiley is known for his patterned collage backgrounds in his large portraits. Stand next to the snowman and be surrounded by a pattern of bright modern snowflakes!

In a world that feels so dark right now, it put a smile on my face to see the #artofsnowflakes 🖼 put up in Bluemont Park by arlparksrec and arlcommunityarts. Sometimes it’s hard to live in an area near DC but things like this remind me that #lovewhereilive.

Liv enjoyed finding the art installation next to Bluemont Junction on our walk this morning. She liked that she was ‘in the painting’! #artofsnowflakes #lovelyliv
Out exploring on my daily walk. I have a case of #wanderlust.
Walking is a free #refreshing alternative to strenuous #aerobic #exercise, and overpriced #gym memberships. It is easy to fit into your daily routine. Plus, it has tremendous benefits, from supporting a healthy immune system to boosting your #metabolism to strengthening your joints, muscles, and bones—not to mention it's amazing for #stressrelief.
With COIVD, it is important to remember that #walking can help protect you. A study of over 1,000 men and women found that those who walked at least 20 minutes a day, at least 5 days a week, had 43% fewer #sickdays than those who #exercised once a week or less. And if they did get sick, it was for a shorter duration, and their symptoms were milder.
Make it a point to add a little walking to your daily routine. The change of #scenery and the fresh air will offer you a brief escape from your daily routine. A #walk around the block helps to clear your head and relieve stress so that you can get back to your day refreshed. And if you find a way to throw in some #art, even better.

Finished what I started yesterday – ended up doing 17 miles across the two days, got a nice #Ingress souvenir, and stumbled across a really cool #artofsnowflakes display from arlcommunityarts and arlparksrec along the way.
keep the pictures coming! we love seeing people outside enjoying our parks and taking the time to checkout the #artofsnowflakes murals along the Bluemont Junction trail.
