If you’ve ever walked through NoMa and wondered how one of the neighborhood’s colorful murals came to life, this September you can watch it happen.
NoMa in Color, the NoMa BID’s annual mural festival, returns September 11–18, bringing 17 artists to the neighborhood to create 16 new large-scale murals. Throughout the week, visitors can stop by mural sites, watch artists paint, and see the works take shape in real time.

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.
“Flurry in Bloomingdale!”

“Dear PoPville,
Note – LGB (minus the T) – much like the Stonewall National Monument website. Erasing history.”
From NPS’ Dupont Circle website:
“In the 1970s, Dupont Circle became a welcoming place for the city’s LGB community.” (more…)
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.
