Rather than operating in a bubble of “art people” or “history people,” we strive to connect ALL people in our county. Artists and activists exhibiting their work.

I heard Frank Warren speak at the American Visionary Art Museum. In 2004, for DC’s Art-o-Matic community show, he initiated an experiment called PostSecret.
