Artomatic 2008. A Must Visit for the Hip and In the Know DCers.

Artomatic 2008 is housed in a brand spakin' new office building with incredible views of the city. The space itself is quite incredible. The event taking place within its walls, dope.

Artomatic is a month-long multimedia arts event that draws together visual artists, musicians and performers and brings their work to the community. Housed on ten floors, with food and bars, a dance/theater stage, film room, two music stages, poetry lounge and tattoo parlor, this event has something for everyone.

I am especially proud of the dance stage (section of the backdrop pictured above) as I am co-chairing, along with Cheles Rhynes of Mason/Rhynes Productions, the first ever dance stage at an Artomatic event. We have programs going on all month long so check em!
