Dear Washingtonians,
It's been a busy Art Week in DC. We kicked things off on Monday with a reminder of all the creative celebrations happening, including Theatre Week. On Wednesday, we were in the Anacostia Arts and Culture District to?celebrate MuralsDC.?Yesterday, we honored the people who keep DC creative at the 38th Annual Mayor?s Arts Awards.?
And tonight, we kick off the grand finale and a community favorite: Art All Night. Once again, Art All Night will be a two-night celebration. There will be free activations across all eight wards tonight (Friday, September 29). Then, the fun continues tomorrow for a second day of performances and art. This year, we added a new feature: Dine All Night.?
Art All Night activations are happening in neighborhoods and at libraries across DC and I encourage you to check out what's happening and plan your experience at?dcartallnight.org.
Sincerely,
 View photos from events this week on Facebook.?
