Yesterday, the Art in the Mix Festival celebrated the grand opening of the 27 artist studios that make up the Arts Walk of Monroe Street Market. A DJ, band, food trucks, live art demonstrations, beer garden, and kids pavilion with face painting made for a festive affair. While a few of the spaces had been occupied and open for business prior to yesterday’s open house, many artists worked into the wee hours of the morning to have their spaces ready for the big event. The artists include painters, sculptors, furniture makers, purse designers, photographers, set designers, and poets. Many of the artists plan to offer community classes. If you did not have a chance to check them out yesterday, definitely stop by in the future. Monroe Street Market is located steps from the Brookland-CUA stop on the red line.
