🎨✨ ALEXANDRIA ARTISTS… IT’S TIME TO TAP IN. ✨🎨

Calling all artists in Alexandria and around the DMV!

Dope Focus LLC is officially opening up GENERAL ARTIST SUBMISSIONS, and we’re looking to connect with local creatives who are ready to grow their visibility, showcase their work, and build community through art.

We primarily work with self-taught and emerging artists, helping support the business and promotional side of things so artists can stay focused on creating. 🎨

📩 Interested in working with us?
Email [email protected] to schedule a consult where we can talk more about your art, your goals, and future opportunities for your work.

🚨 This is a GENERAL submission call — more location-specific artist calls and opportunities will be coming soon!
