Brightest Young Things on DC’s vibrant art scene
"...Beneath the behemoth cultural importers of the Smithsonians, the Hirshorn and the National Portrait Gallery, however, a community of collaborative and resourceful artists are redefining DC’s cultural landscape.
It has never been a better time to be young and creative in the district, as a kinetic art scene comprised of collectives and community-focused art is simmering with a building momentum and a magnetic authenticity."
