Mid City Artists 10th Annual Open Studios

 MAY 19th & MAY 20th, 2012 in WASHINGTON, DC

Twenty-six members open their studio doors, free to the public, with lots of art, refreshments, music, fun! This bi-annual event in Washington, DC's Mid City – in and around the Dupont Circle and Logan Circle neighborhoods – offers a special opportunity for art-lovers to take a peek into the artists' creative process, connect personally with artists and learn more about how and where they make art, and purchase art as well. The participating artists represent a great diversity of work, including drawings, sculptures, paintings, prints, photographs and mixed media.

Host to some of the city's hottest restaurants, galleries, interior design shops and fashion boutiques, the Mid City corridor is a thriving destination for the arts in DC. Spend your weekend visiting Mid City Artists and see the community on foot, bike or public transit.

Plan your visits in advance by flipping through the artists' pages online to see what you like, who is new, and who is participating, and when. Not all artists are open both days. Download the map to guide you along at www.midcityartists.com

Check out the business supporters and eat, drink and shop as you go. Support the visual artists by purchasing some art for yourself, for an upcoming present, or for the young collector in your life.
