Join the Petworth Arts Collaborative on Sunday, June 23rd from 11am-6pm on the 800 block of Upshur as they participate as one of the satellite “pARTners” for the By The People Festival, a free arts and dialogue festival presented by Halcyon.

Building on May’s First Friday “What Community Means to You” event, the Petworth Arts Collaborative is featuring work from past and current local Petworth-area collaborators and artists. Come check out performance and visual art at neighborhood business pARTner establishments Fia’s Fabulous Finds, Willow, Ten Tigers Parlour, Art of Noize, Loyalty Books, Capital City Hydroponics and the Petworth Community Wall.

The Petworth Community Wall is a rotating space for community artwork: posters, murals & more. It hosts rotating projects every 4-6 months and features curated projects with local partners such as the DC Public Library and Petworth Arts Collaborative. On view through summer 2019 is YOU ARE NOT LOST, a special collaboration between Cory Bernat and Reggie Black. Neighbors are invited to respond to the Petworth Arts Collaborative theme “What Community Means to Me” by submitting a photograph to be collaged onto the design — or stop by to be photographed in person. On June 23, Bernat will collect and print portraits of residents and live-wheatpaste them onto the wall.
