Like a fine wine, the Dupont Artisan Market continues to showcase high-quality artisan shows, which you can see in real time on our Instagram with the hashtag #ArtRaveDC. We are entering the final stretch of the year from September to December, starting with our next event this Saturday, September 5th, and followed by September 12th, the very popular Art All Night, which typically attracts over 4,000 shoppers.
We are excited to welcome four new artisans, including a talented fine artist, a fragrance maker, and an artisan specializing in honey and tea, alongside all our other artisans from various disciplines. We also have entertainment covered with our in-house band, which performs fantastic music and features artists who also showcase and sell their unique works of art.

The first annual Consortium art show
For one weekend in September, a private mansion in Upper Georgetown becomes the most beautiful room in Washington. Work by women artists, hung salon-style the way Paris did it a century ago: floor to ceiling, frame to frame, every wall alive. Sculpture on the mantels. Paintings up the staircase. Art where art is meant to live, in a home, among people, with a glass in your hand.

A reader reports just after 4pm:
“7 secret service police cruisers in the middle of Connecticut Ave in Woodley right now. Someone is in custody in the back of one of the cruisers and another passenger is collecting stuff from the car. Driver in custody. Stolen car suspected according to another bystander.”
Updates when/if more is learned.

Thanks to everyone who passed on the call for support:
“Hi everyone – today USAID staff in Washington received word that they can go into USAID headquarters at the Ronald Reagan Building to retrieve their personal belongings. The entire Washington-based staff will have two days, this Thursday and Friday, in one-hour windows by bureau and in 15-minute increments per person. No boxes or packing materials will be provided. There are staff who have worked at the RRB for 20-30 years, and it is the “mother ship” for most of us. This will be an extremely emotional two days.
So, we would like to encourage anyone who is in the DMV area and able to, please join us at the RRB to “clap out” staff, with signs of support. (more…)
Thanks to Jackie for sending: “Brings back fond memories of friends piling in here to head to Drive-In. Makes me wonder how we all fit in there and we certainly didn’t wear seatbelts. We might have been rebels!”
