 I have been half crazed (maybe 3/4) this week trying to make something new and appropriate for "The Art of Change", the artists inaugural ball. It's a big bash co-sponsored by the Warehouse, Artomatic and lots of others, orgnized by the local art community, to be held at the Warehouse, where we have congregated and shown for years, and several nicely decaying surrounding buildings on Seventh St across from the Convention Center.( official poop below). The front room on the second floor of the Warehouse has been given to Sondra Arkin and I to show our version of Hope/Change. Also in other rooms will be Kristina Bilonick, Bridget Sue Lambert, Anita Walsh and several others.
 "Change" - almost done
Official Poop:
Artomatic, Inc. and Playa del Fuego, Inc. – institutions of the mid-Atlantic arts community – have joined together to create this year’s most distinctive inaugural celebration, The Art of Change (www.artists-ball.org), on Jan. 20, 2009 at 8pm.
With the generous support of corporate sponsor Scion (www.scion.com) and location sponsors The Warehouse Arts Complex (www.warehousetheater.com) and Douglas Development (www.douglasdevelopment.com), this event brings Washington, D.C., a unique opportunity to celebrate the inauguration of Barack Obama as President.
Tickets are available immediately for $50 at www.artists-ball.org.
Occupying three separate venues on the 1000 block of 7th Street, NW in downtown Washington D.C., The Art of Change will feature visual and performing arts, multiple dance floors, fire dancing and live music. DJs from across the mid-Atlantic region will be spinning an eclectic mix of musical styles on two dance floors, and in The Art of Change Galleries, displaying artworks created for this celebration. The Variety Stage will showcase performances all night long, including live music, comedy, belly dancing and spoken word poetry. And outside, attendees will enjoy fire-dance performances while dancing to up-and-coming DJs in the heated White Tent.
