ArtJamz

For only $48 participants receive a canvas that they get to keep, plus acrylics paints, art materials, light hors d’oeuvres, vitaminwater zero, great music and a chance to mingle with other intrepid creators. Alcoholic drinks are not included but are available throughout the session at an onsite bar. Sessions run four nights July 6, 7, 8 and 9 from 6:30PM to 10:00PM.

The newly re-designed Dunes event space is located directly above the former Social restaurant a few blocks north of the heart of Columbia Heights Metro. The 1,800 square foot open venue with a state of the art sound system and fully-functioning bar area is the perfect place for a creative night of eating, drinking, creating, and mingling.

“Through its support of the local music scene via the Sofar Sounds series, or arts, via exhibitions, The Dunes LLC is one of the cutting edge small businesses helping to create a real creative economy in the District. We’re excited to bring ArtJamz to their event space in Columbia Heights. We promise not to get too much paint on the floors,” said ArtJamz Chief Creative Enabler, Michael M Clements.

Since launching in June 2010, over 2,000 people have unleashed their inner artists at the participatory art party event, ArtJamz. The summer 2011 schedule includes exciting partnerships and chances to eat, drink and create at The Smithsonian American Art Museum, The Corcoran Gallery of Art + Design, Irvine Contemporary Gallery, Lamont Bishop Gallery and The Dunes LLC in Columbia Heights.
