It’s that time of year again — time for the biggest gathering of local creatives in the DMV!
Join D.C.’s creative community at Eaton Hotel on August 29 to kick off the 4th installment of Mayor Muriel Bowser Presents 202Creates Month, a campaign to celebrate D.C.’s innovators, makers and artists throughout all 8 wards of the city.
The 202Creates Kickoff is the premiere event for 202Creates Month, featuring live performances by DJ Pedro Night, DJ Biggs, and Black Alley, art activations by Creative Junk Food, and a dance activation by local dancers!
202Creates was established to celebrate D.C.’s innovators, makers and artists throughout all 8 wards of the city. It connects District residents with government resources, educational opportunities and spaces to support their projects. This results in the creation of business development tools, original media content and performances, as well as community-building events, activities and roundtables.
This September’s 202Creates programming is made possible in partnership with the DC Office of Cable Television, Film, Music and Entertainment; The DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities; The DC Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development; and the DC Executive Office of the Mayor.
RSVP for the kickoff here, and learn more about 202Creates and upcoming events here.

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!
