About Me

Above: Last month's winning design by Brody Rose, using the words provided by curator George Koch: Empathy, Commitment, Creatives.
Saturday, May 17th, a creative amalgamation of LIVE art including 3 graphic designers, electronica music acts, tribal belly dancers, independent fashion designers and other local artists will take over BeBar (1318 9th St. NW) for a 4 hour, 21st century Live-Art 'Happening'.
At the event, a juror will provide the participating graphic designers with three words. The designers will have 4 hours to create a poster for 'X', using these words as inspiration for their designs. Their laptops will be hooked up to large displays, revealing their approaches and creative process to the audience.
At the end of the event, the curator will select a winning design. The winner's design will be used on promotional material for the next X as well as potentially incorporated into an art book.
This month we will also be featuring a new drawing and writing game: EAT POOP YOU CAT.
Come see what the Washington Post has called 'an incredible sensory overload'
