Arts on Belmont in Adams Morgan - Sunday 9/12/10



Arts on Belmont showcases the work of original artists and artisans during the Adams Morgan Day Festival. A row of diverse artists stretches the length of Belmont between Columbia Rd and 18th St. NW

Come enjoy browsing through works in variety of media --oil, watercolor, glass, metal, textiles, clay, and wood -- by artists representing diverse traditions and styles. Belmont is a picturesque, typical Adams Morgan street with both historic and stately row houses. It serves as the perfect backdrop for the array of talented creative artists brought together under the plentiful shade of its umbrella-like oak trees.

Arts On Belmont opens early! Get there early before the rush. By starting early at 10:00am, Arts on Belmont allows serious shoppers to locate unique finds and browse before enjoying the live music venues which begin at noon. See you there!

More Snow in DC.....


DC's MLK Memorial Library on a snowy Saturday afternoon. I've always been fond of, and strangely comforted by, the sight of this city's only structure designed by the late Chicago modernist architect, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.

Over the years, I've borrowed many (heavy) art books, eclectic (shall we say...) music and back in the day - books on tape, from this large library standing at 9th & G Streets. While the library itself is in great need of improvements, it's good to know that in 2007, the District of Columbia Historic Preservation Review Board designated the library to be an official city landmark, protecting it against demolition.
