Easy to navigate. Packed with information and resources for DC artists. I dig this site and will be adding it to my favorites. I will also be attending one or more of the grant writing workshops and would love to be included in all your mailings. You should check out my series: REAL Life DC: MG Stout Sketches the District. I am working with a publisher who has translated the works into book form! Due to be released July 2010.
Artfully yours,
MG Stout
We started a new activity/program at the Potters House DC “Youth Take over the Mic”. This program focus is Hip Hop.
