Washington, DC 20024

The 2011-2012 WPA Artist Directory launches on April 20!

Join them for a free Launch Party at WPA's new home in the Capitol Skyline Hotel to celebrate their new space and the launch of their latest Directory! And stay through the evening to celebrate the WPA's move to the Capitol Skyline at Sleepout, a poolside sleepover party! The Directory launch party is free, but Sleepout is a ticketed event. Purchase tickets here. 

This will be the very first opportunity to see and purchase this full-color guide to WPA member artists that serves as a reference tool for curators, gallerists, patrons and artists. The 2013-2014 Artist Directory is available for $9.95 plus tax. Pre-orders and artist copies will be available for pick up the night of the event. Additional copies may also be purchased. 

David Gregory: DC Asshole of the week

I know that this is very City Paper of me, but this story about TV talking head David Gregory (D-NBC) throwing a fit over parking issues in his "this is where the rich people live in DC" neighborhood really makes the "Meet the Press" host a perfect choice for my inaugural DC Asshole of the Week.

Hopefully it will be another few years before another one is awarded to some idiot who doesn't understand what "public" means in reference to a street and parking.

Gregory flatly denied warning the show-house folks that he “knows all the politicians in town,” as witnesses claim.

"Witnesses" (Plural) -- What a schmuck!

A great essay by Dr. Claudia Rousseau about the work of Freya Grand for the current exhibit at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.

Artist at the Altar finds a home in NYC

This work made its debut at the Affordable Art Fair in New York City and it is now in the collection of a major, major, New York collector... that's what I'm talking about!

Artist Worshiping at the Altar of Modern Art (Version II)

2013 by F. Lennox Campello

One of the critics from ArtNews magazine who has been following my work since the last Miami art fairs and who was here for the press preview told me that I need to make these electronic pieces much larger... which is exactly what my gallerist from Ireland advised.
