“Tonight is the opening of the K Street Virtual Gallery, DC’s first outdoor, permanent, digital art gallery”

Published April 19, 2023 at 4:05PM

Remember that projection we wondered about a few weeks ago?

From the NoMa BID:

“On Wednesday, April 19, the NoMa Parks Foundation will unveil the K Street Virtual Gallery, a new, permanent outdoor art installation located in the 400-foot rail underpass on K Street between First and Second Streets NE.

Featuring 12 high-lumen laser projectors, each carefully calibrated and synchronized to cast a series of images on to the reticulated stone walls that flank the roadway, the K Street Virtual Gallery will enliven and brighten this section of K Street NE. The Gallery will be illuminated 24/7. (more…)

“any idea what this is under the K street bridge between 1st and 2nd Northeast?”

“I think it is a Cadillac from the late 60’s/early 70’s. Has this crazy purple color!

I’m a local artist and I love to do paintings of vintage (mostly early 1960’s cars) Got a solo show going on right now at AIADC (District Architecture Center).”

“Dear PoPville,

The new store is called Made With Love. It’s designed to be a neighborhood space for wellness and art. From the physical space itself (which I personally renovated), to the products sold here, to the art people can make here, everything in the space is made with love. We honor that we are all unique individuals made with love, made of love, made for love.

Here, we sell handmade wellness-related goods made by local businesses and artists (candles, body and hair products, wellness journals, art kits, essential oils, and more), featuring makers of color. We will also hold family friendly art and wellness classes, such as expressive painting, therapeutic journaling, meditative coloring, tea mixing, and more. This is a space to unplug, slow down, and enjoy!

We’re preparing for a soft opening this Friday and weekend.”
