Ugly Sweaters at WPA

Okay, I'll confess - my people do not do ugly sweater parties. I have never been able to fathom why anyone would choose to wear Santa on skis (and much much worse) on her chest. So I approached the WPA (Washington Project for the Arts) Holiday and Ugly Sweater party as a kind of anthropological expedition. WPA is one of DC's most  important resources for artists themselves; with over 1000 artist members, it acts as connective tissue between the working artists and the community of curators, collectors and art lovers. WPA sponsors a fabulous online artfile, an annual high-production-quality directory of regional artists, exhibitions all year and a high-toned auction annually. And they sure know how to party.
