Worn Magazine-Where Art and Style Collide
Last night I attended the "Scotch Hop" Rooftop Party for Worn Magazine. Upon arrival I was met with more dapper looking gentlemen than I think I have seen in the district thus far, and the ladies were looking pretty smart as well.

Sunday Slow Down
Let's try this again. The Sunday Slow Down post is all about you guys. I want you to take a minute to look at the piece and then comment on it.

A Fine Line: Rwandan Genocide through the art of Foreigners and the Healing Process
Over the last week I have tried to find as many sources regarding Rwandan art as I could. What became apparent was the lack of information and exposure of art in Rwanda. In fact the only real website that I came across was that of Ivuka Arts Kigali.

Which means, being out and about is much more tempting that it was during the winter months. Yesterday I spent my first thursday in a while at The Phillips Collection.

Museum Thursday
Since moving to DC have tried to visit a different museum or gallery every thursday. This hasn't been as consistent as I would have liked. It started off with the best intentions but of course school always seemed to get in the way. Yesterday, however I was able to pick it back up and headed … Continue reading Museum Thursday
Virtual and Alternative Art Spaces
We do everything online--communicate, socialize, shop, play-- it was only a matter of time before galleries turned to the internet to show their exhibitions, and I'm not just talking about showing a few works as a preview but full fledged walk-through virtual tours. This of course begs the question as yo whether or not art … Continue reading Virtual and Alternative Art Spaces
