Since BVSPCA started to provide animal control services in January, DC no longer has 24/7 animal control to help residents and animals in need. Residents in crisis repeatedly report unanswered emergency calls, ignored voicemails, and outright refusal to pick up stray or injured animals.

This lack of responsiveness is putting animals and people at risk and forcing residents to do the work that BVSPCA is being paid nearly $10 million a year to perform.


Feeling cooped up — or dare we say, lying low — and tight on cash during the government shutdown? Solas Nua has you covered.

We’re all about presenting world-class Irish art in DC at accessible prices. That’s why we’ve included Pay What You Can opportunities to see LIE LOW, a dark comedy by Ciara Elizabeth Smyth, at Atlas Performing Arts Center (1333 H St. NE), with tickets starting at $5.


The end of another fantastic season is just around the corner! Our last show was a testament to our resilience; despite the government shutdown that affected hundreds of thousands of workers, ArtRave, with its 18-year history, still produced a memorable event last Saturday. In fact, it was so well-attended that we had to extend our hours by an hour, staying open until 6 PM!

For this Saturday’s show on November 8th, we are excited to feature even more talented artisans. This includes a quilt maker, several fashion designers, two skilled gemstone artisans, and a variety of gourmet vendors, such as a honey maker, a coffee artisan, and two bakeries, among others. In short, we have all the ingredients for another phenomenal event!
