DC, Washington: June 5, 2010: Call for artists

CALL FOR ARTISTS: NEW ARTS MARKET IN EDGEWOOD DC
There is a new art market sprouting in the Edgewood Neighborhood in Northeast DC. It is the home to our "From Edgewood to the Edge of the World" mural. The neighborhood is changing daily. When you walk down the street, you see that residents are planting more flowers, fixing up their porches, new folks and businesses moving into empty houses. And now with the new trail that connects the place with the rest of the city for the bikers and pedestrians, more and more people visit the neighborhood from the surrounding areas. On June 5th, there will be an official trail opening event, so there will be a lot of people in the area. Take advantage of it to market your artwork!
