Art on 8th festivities have started for the summer.  Art on 8th is a co-presentation of Dance Place and Monroe Street Market, offering free arts events on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from May to October.  The festivities take place at venues close to the Brookland metro station, just a hop, skip, and a jump from the neighborhood.  Check out the free events for May and the rest of the summer.  Live jazz, a dance jam, and arts & crafts are on tap for this week.
