Tomorrow (Saturday March 15) is your last chance to see DCist Exposed at Civilian Art Projects.
Last Friday was the opening, and those of you who got there early or roughed the rainy 500-person line know that it was a packed house. We sold a bunch of the work, got a bunch of press, and made DC gallerists stop and go "huh? A BLOG put on an art exhibit for the 2nd year running? How come 500 people don’t stand in line to go to MY gallery openings?"
See and read what the fuss was all about:
>> Oh, Jessica Dawson, Washington Post’s most sarcastic art critic. And she wasn’t even too mean. Wow.
>> The roundup from DCist.
>> The plethora of pics on Flickr.
>> DCist Exposed in video.
>> Supposedly we are mentioned in today’s Weekend Pass in the Washington Post Express, but I can’t find the mention in the online version.
>> Ditto above for Philadelphia Style magazine, but not sure why this mag would cover a DC event?
So, there you go. Was a great event. It was nice to see so many folks interested in -- and buying some of -- the arts in the District. The opening was filled with a variety of folks -- in fact, I didn’t even see most of the typical gallery goers. Perhaps they arrived fashionably late, saw the 500 person line, and went to Oyamel or Zaytinya for drinks and yums.
