No Kings Collective Presents: ACTIVATION 2719
WASHINGTON, DC – February 11, 2010
Starting on Saturday, February 20th, No Kings Collective will transform a beautiful, newly renovated,
4-story Columbia Heights row house into a temporary gallery. The name of the show, “Activation 2719”,
reflects both the address of the location at 13th and Girard Streets and also an attempt to create life in
an unoccupied historic location. “Activation 2719” will run from Feb 20th – March 12th with the opening
reception this Saturday the 20th and a closing reception on March 12th (gallery hours below).
Moving forward from their successful installation at ReadysetDC’s launch party “For the Love of DC”,
No Kings Collective will continue to bring you creative exhibits and special projects. This event was
produced with close collaboration with ReadysetDC, and contains 11 unique bodies work from area art-
ists all reflecting both their mastery of craft within their respective mediums.
Activation 2719 is a rare opportunity for the artist to curate themselves, with themes that reflect their
own personal style and background. Artist were asked to produce ‘site specific’ small collections of
work to best be reflective of what makes their work both current and cutting edge. The range of works,
genres, and mediums within Activation 2719 are as diverse as the artist themselves. These artists
are contemporary in their niche while also pushing boundaries in art, both local and nationally. The
common thread of these artists is their instantly recognizable use of intense color and topics within in
their works, from the dynamic clean duct tape works and installations of artist Bryan Rojsuontikul to
the graphic pen style and social commentary seen within the work of Aniekan Udofia. Activation 2719
promises to be unforgettable merger of style and character. The opening event will start at 6pm and will
include a bar, food provided by Commonwealth Gastropub, and musical entertainment for the evening.
Music on the 20th will be performed by Bullfight Academy, DJ Fleg, DJ Phil Real and DJ Smudge. Ad-
ditional sponsorship provided by Fathom Creative.
Opening reception is RSVP only. Please RSVP at http://www.readysetdc.com/2719 by 3pm on February 20th.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
