For 10 days since 2016, the WMATA wall along Metropolitan Branch Trail has featured a curated group of artists gathered in Washington, D.C.'s NoMa district, to enliven streetscapes, and beautify the community.  As part of the festival, a partnership between, the NoMa BID and WMATA's Art in Transit Program allows artists to create several murals side-by-side along the 900 feet-long retaining wall at Metro's Brentwood Rail Yard facility, north of the NoMa-Gallaudet University Metro station, along the Metropolitan Branch Trail (MBT).
