Calling artists and arts organizations: Upper Northwest Arts Forum April 23

One of reasons Theresa Cameron was hired as Van Ness Main Street’s executive director was her extensive background in promoting the arts as an important component in reviving commercial areas. She is laying the groundwork for such a revival in Van Ness by organizing the first Upper Northwest DC Arts Forum:

VAN NESS MAIN STREET invites you to join us for the 1st Upper Northwest Arts Forum on Saturday, April 23rd at Levine Music (2801 Upton St., NW Washington, DC). Join your colleagues from all arts disciplines to discuss ways to collaborate and promote your art and arts organizations in Upper Northwest DC and learn about arts opportunities in the DC area.
