Announcements

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!

Step into a night that breaks the routine: an evening where wine becomes celebration and the moment becomes memory.

Discover the story of Beaujolais Nouveau, the young, fresh, fruit-forward wine released each year to honor the harvest, transformed into a global sensation thanks to Georges Duboeuf. It may not be the most complex wine, but it is the most anticipated: the wine of celebration, joy, and tradition.

Step into the warmth and elegance of the season with An Enchanted Holiday Tribute, presented at the prestigious National Press Club. This exceptional evening blends the stirring artistry of The Washington Tattoo and the refined voices of the Washington Opera Society into a spectacular, sophisticated celebration. Far from your everyday holiday concert, the performance will showcase beloved seasonal classics alongside a heartfelt salute to our Armed Forces, culminating in a festive sing-along. Join us for an unforgettable evening where elegance, music, and patriotism intertwine beautifully to inspire your holiday spirit.

Early admission for VIPs and Sponsors: 6:30pm
