"One of the oldest music murals in the city is located indoors, in the U Street Metro Station. Commissioned by the Metro's "Art in Transit" program, "Community Rhythms" was painted in 1994 by artist Alfred J. Smith with assistance from Howard University art students…The vibrant paintings depict artists and dancers of various ethnicities, playing instruments from all over the world."

This project was made possible in part by the DC Commission on the Arts & Humanities.
