Sheldon For DC

Washington Project for the Arts (WPA) presented SHELDON FOR DC, a public art performance directed by the artist Sheldon Scott. The citywide performance revolved around the campaign of a candidate — referred to simply as “Sheldon” and played by a half-dozen actors — who ran to become DC’s first Minister of Culture. It unfolded over the next two months in the form of rallies, door-to-door campaigning, meet-the-candidate social events, and an 8-Ward whistle-stop tour.
