Looking for a small gallery space in DC?
In the 14th Street gallery district of DC there's a 300 sq. ft. office available to be leased out to a consultant or arts person (not an artist). It's furnished, has wireless internet, track lights and a small exhibition space, so it can be made into a Curator's Office type of exhibition venue. Three big windows, common kitchen and 2 bathrooms. The landlord is asking $1,000 a month and its month-to-month.
If interested drop me an email and I'll forward it to the landlord.

Tate at Fraser
I have been unable to see this exhibition yet, but judging from the press that it is generating, my very biased enthusiasm for District uberartist Tim Tate seems to have some widespread and diverse justification, at least as evidenced by what the critics are saying:
- Michael O'Sullivan in today's Washington Post.
- Chris Hobson in the current Washington City Paper.
- Kevin Mellema in the Falls Church News.
- Kriston Capps in the Washington Post Express.
- GOGs in the Washington Post.
- FiOS TV Sirius Satellite Radio will be recording a segment Tate and his most recent work next week.
Tate will also be giving a talk at the Smithsonian American Art Museum on Thursday, March 22nd at 3PM in the Museum's Luce Foundation Center of American Art. Free and open to the public.
