"The Arlington, Va., neighborhood of Crystal City hosts this year’s Artomatic. The event is being held on two floors of an office building at 2121 Crystal Drive. The location is close to downtown Washington, D.C., and is just blocks from the Crystal City Metro station. Free garage parking will be available evenings and weekends, but visitors are strongly encouraged to take Metro to Artomatic.

This year’s Artomatic is presented in partnership with the Crystal City Business Improvement District (BID), which is “very excited” that the event is in Crystal City, according to Angela Fox, executive director of the Crystal City BID, www.crystalcitybid.com.

“Art adds dimension and soul to our daily lives. It reaches us in ways that we might not anticipate — making us think, react, reflect,” Fox said. “It also recharges us in a way that we need in today's ‘always on’ world. Artomatic does all of these times 100. One building, two floors, more than 500 artists entertaining, stretching and challenging us. It's fun, whimsical, focused, intellectual and brilliant. It's takes Crystal City where we want to go."
