“The DC Art Book Collective is thrilled to announce that the 2nd annual DC Art Book Fair is taking place this year on November 5th, 2017 from 12noon until 5pm. This year’s event will be held at the National Museum of Women in the Arts at 1250 New York Ave. NW, Washington, D.C. And yes, the event is on Facebook!
The DC Art Book Fair is a curated event that brings together artists, small presses, and collectives from DC and beyond to sell their independently published (largely paper-based) works. These artists deal in works from zines to books, from comics to prints and plenty in between (including some non-paper goods and accessories.)
The fair will feature 50 artists/collectives/small presses, including Pellinore Press, East City Art, Shortt Editions: Paul Short, Dayanita Ramesh, Carmen Johns, Jamila Zahra Felton, Leda Black, Bodies Adapt and Marlena Chertock, Washington Project for the Arts, Pyramid Atlantic Art Center, TEN 09, Lenora Yerkes/I’m Sorry Press, Mayya Agapova, Katana Lippart and many, many more. For a list of all the applicants, see the event’s Facebook page.
The DC Art Book Collective made an active choice to have a diverse group of artists tabling, and was pleased to present a number of tablers with a scholarship for this year’s fair — an opportunity to show at the fair fee-free. The Collective believes that artists from all backgrounds should be able to show at such a fair.
This year’s fair coincides with NMWA’s Free Community Day for November, which means that all entry fees to the museum are waived. Entry to the Art Book Fair is also free.”

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!
