Fiery acrobatics + local artists, musicians and writers: Get your Van Ness Art All Night schedule here

September 9, 2016 by FHC

Performers at Van Ness’s Art All Night: Made in DC event on September 24th are going to set the night on fire. And no, that’s not a metaphor.

The concrete plaza outside the Van Ness Metro station’s west entrance will become the stage for the Incendiary Circus, a collective of fire artists.

Just to the south at the new UDC student center, local visual artists will display their work. To the north at the UDC Law School, one of those artists will show you how to create your own colorful puppets. UDC’s jazz program will jazz up Acacia Bistro. And Bread Furst will host readings by local authors.

Across Connecticut Avenue, an artist will light up the windows at WAMU. The public radio station will also provide tours of its headquarters. At Park Van Ness, more music will fill the air. And in Calvert Woodley’s parking lot, a DJ will lay down the groove for a dance party.

Thanks to Van Ness Main Street and volunteers (You could be one! You get a cool t-shirt!), Van Ness is one of seven neighborhoods participating in the Art All Night festivities.
