Artomatic 2009

"Artomatic is a month-long art festival in DC that is free to the general public celebrating its 10th anniversary this year... The event features nine floors of visual and installation art, theater performances, dance and comedy, three music stages, street performances such as fire dancing and drum troupes, and a film screening theater. Workshops and seminars are held all month long and special events such as the Washington Post's Peeps diorama finalists, the Zombie Prom, Box Racing,
body paint shows, and a no-holds-barred Art in Fashion Show. With four stages, four bars and a lounge on each floor, the 10th Anniversary Artomatic is bigger than ever. Over 1,000 visual artists and 600 performing artists are exhibiting this year."

Even if I wasn't showing in Artomatic this year (9th Floor!), I would still recommend everyone go visit it sometime this summer.
