Join us Friday! @ReadysetDC presents: The Art of the Blog_ and the GALLERY at District
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 Lounge2473 18th Street NW - Washington, DC
See you there!

Behind the Scenes w/ @ReadysetDC: Suzi Molak & Drew Porterfield "For the Love of DC"
"We love our space," Suzi Molak tells ReadysetDC as she invites us for a walk-through of the new Long View art gallery and cultural venue—and we agree! What an amazing location for our upcoming "For The Love of DC" art party, to be held on Thursday, December 10 (see event details; RSVP here).
My favorite piece during our walk-through: Jessica Angel's beautiful imagined cityscape, inspired by the artist's Brooklyn Heights neighborhood. The painting is a temporary installation that Suzi wants to make permanent (she wants to see if Jessica would use Long View's big paneling out in front as street art).
Art gallery director Drew Porterfield was also with us for conversation. He tells us that he hopes to travel for Thanksgiving, despite the massive undertaking of installing 30 advertisements for an upcoming event, "Ads vs Aids" (see the flier for that here).

Ready, Set... Launch! How Good Design Will Motivate the Future of @ReadysetDC
Check out these awesome new cards designed by our Creative Director Justin Young! They are a tiny preview of what's brewing over at ReadysetDC: a redesigned web space, the official launch of a creative agency, and a party on Dec 10 to celebrate our love for DC.
The theme and title "For the Love of DC" reflects the website’s mission to promote and spotlight the urban renaissance that’s happening here in the nation’s capital and coincides with ReadysetDC’s new site redesign. "For the Love of DC" also marks the beginning of the ReadysetDC creative agency; offering branding, web design, photography, video, writing and marketing services.
The location of this exciting party: the super cool new Long View Gallery space.
As a designer, I'm motivated by the advancement of creative efforts in DC, (that also cater to exceptional design), and ReadysetDC is one of the ways in which these efforts are setting the stage for 2010.
See the Facebook invite for party details. Follow ReadysetDC on Twitter.

Maura Judkis: Laurel Lukazewski's "Once" at Project 4 Gallery
At Project 4, Laurel Lukazewski’s Sakura is the signature piece of her new show, “Once.” It’s an installation of 3,020 delicate porcelain cherry blossoms—the number coincides with how many trees were given to our city by Japan—covering the two-story walls of the gallery. By the baseboards, petals are strewn about, for even though these flowers look newly blossomed, Lukazewski won’t let us forget that natural beauty is fleeting—a message that, when cemented in porcelain, seems somewhat contradictory, as delicate as its medium. It’s as though Lukazewski takes us through the seasons: flowers in summer, piles of leaves in fall, the swirls of snow in the winter, and a waterfall-like cascade of rain in the spring; all four a reminder to be more deliberate, thoughtful, and grateful.
A beautiful piece in the City Paper. I hope you get to see Laurel's installation.

Photos: The Unwrapping of Cork Market
This story cross-posted at ReadysetDC: "Streetfront: Cork Market"
I'm excited to see these guys work on Cork Market, because for a while there we couldn't see construction. They are getting ready for business, as you can see from the permits. The place is located at 1805 14th Street NW (b/w Home Rule and Pulp DC), on what used to be El Paraiso Market. One of the guys loved getting his picture taken; another one busy painting. Pella logos all over the exterior for now--nothing distinctly Cork.
Metrocurean's Amanda McClements has a "before" shot of the place, and the complete scoop on Cork's new space. I met Amanda at Passenger DC's media party. (She's the girl on the left in this photo). You guys know I don't do food stuff, hah, so follow this awesome district foodie on Twitter.
