THRILLED to have Phresh Ingredient at Dupont Underground this Saturday, Sept 12 for Art All Night!

We met PHRESH through the Alt-DC exhibition this time last year, and had to display his photos as a triptych because we couldn’t leave any of his submissions out of the show. Too good.

Stop in and book a film photography portrait with him Saturday, 7–11 PM!

It’s an art blur! Or maybe it’s just us trying to cram even a fraction of a season of an enormous multi-disciplinary art and cultural venue into 30 seconds. 😂

But seriously, our fall season is on, new events are showing up on the schedule, and we have a great play and two amazing exhibitions open right now. The spring was non-stop stellar and we are not letting up now!

Our small team, awesome partners, and beloved volunteers hope that you check out our (very affordable) tickets for shows and exhibitions, stop through this amazing historic space, and have fun checking out more great things in Dupont Circle and DC. The neighborhood and the city is vibrant.

See our schedule and get tickets in the bio for upcoming shows!
