First there was singing and dancing. And then the complaining began.

A storefront art installation in Anacostia that is part of 5x5, the city-wide public art festival, will be removed after community members complained that it looked like junk.

The D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities said it will take down “The New Migration” by Abigail DeVille, a found-art project installed in a down-at-the-heels section of Good Hope Road SE.
