It is time for the biannual Artrageous Weekend in The District (downtown)! Originally, Artrageous Fridays was held three to four times a year, and starting in 2015, this event evolved to a weekend event in April and October. And the October Artrageous looks like a fantastic event!
The weekend begins Friday evening with a traditional gallery crawl of receptions, an artist talk, and wonderful food and drink! Stephens College will be providing water along the crawl. The event continues on Saturday with educational activities and demonstrations at the venues listed below. On Sunday, musical or artistic performances pair with (not free) brunches at the restaurant partners. Only free Sunday offerings are listed below, brunch details are listed in the calendar notes if you are interested.
Parking: For full details, see our blog post about Parking downtown. For this event, the parking garages are free Friday after 6 pm, and all day on Saturday and Sunday. Street meters are free after 7 pm on Friday, and free on Sunday.
