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.

“Dear PoPville,
A few years ago, during an office move, (the building was at 1120 19th St NW / Dupont Circle. I was abroad and could not move my paintings and when I came back they were gone.) I lost two paintings that I got in Haiti—artworks that hold deep sentimental and cultural value to me. Despite my best efforts, their whereabouts remain unknown. I’m hopeful that the community might help recover these cherished pieces.
I am more than willing to offer a reward for any information that leads to their recovery. (more…)
