From a press release:

“On November 23,2019, Creative Grounds DC, a unique art space and coffee bar will finally open its doors to the public. The two-storey, approximately 2,000 square-foot space located in the Bloomingdale neighborhood of Washington, D.C. is a community space for teaching and showcasing art while serving ethically sourced coffee and food goods from local vendors.

Husband and wife duo, Kenn Blagburn and Asmara Sium originally conceived this project in 2017, in response to the need for more enriching organized activities for Bloomingdale’s increasing family and child population, and as a permanent space for galvanizing and promoting D.C.’s unique arts and cultural communities.

Creative Grounds DC goes beyond the traditional coffee bar model to include a fulfilling arts education program for kids and adults. It will also serve to highlight and celebrate D.C.’s rich art community through exhibitions and artists talks.

It’s a place where art lovers, creatives and coffee enthusiasts from all backgrounds and ages can connect, create and learn. And, for those interested in rental space, Creative Grounds DC has you covered. The vision of Creative Grounds DC is to become the go-to destination for art-related events and exhibition space in the nation’s capital.

The grand opening will be held on November 23 2019, and will feature a wide variety of activities, including a kids corner, a featured artist, performances and great coffee.

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!
