Update: Mentioned in DCist's Arts Agenda. Yay.
We have two great events lined up for this Friday! Part one is our new monthly event: The Art of the Blog_. Each month we invite bloggers, readers and everyone in between to discuss the DC blogosphere, focusing on one blog category a month, followed by drinks and music. This month we are talking neighborhoods, and we have Dan Silverman (Prince of Petworth) and David Garber (And Now, Anacostia). Come out to meet them! Music will be provided by Sean Peoples of FATBACK.
Following The Art of the Blog_, we are partnering up with No Kings Collective (remember Activation 2719?) to bring you the first of a new art event series, the GALLERY at District. Each event serves as an art opening and social, showcasing the works of gallery caliber artists. The inaugural event is also the launch party for No Kings Collective! Mingle and enjoy the work of No Kings Collective, along with drinks. Sean Peoples of FATBACK will stick around and keep the party going!
Part 1 from 6-8PM, Part 2 from 8-10 PM at DISTRICT LoungeSee you there!
