In other blog entries, commenters suggest I write more about arts and planning. Seeing this email from the Bronx Council for the Arts it occurs to me that we aren't doing this kind of outreach, are we, in DC?

All disciplines --including literary arts, media arts, performance arts, and visual arts

MONDAY, MAY 12, 7-9 PM
In the Savoy Room at 120 East 149th St, at Walton Avenue - 2nd Fl

On the campus of Hostos Community College

- OPPORTUNITIES FOR ARTISTS

-tentatively scheduled for late June
-collaboration encouraged with artists and businesses in Mott Haven for those located out of area

And note re the complaining re the Gateway Arts District in PG County, their open studios tour day--of studios of working artists--should be coming up, although their website has last year's info:

Join us on Saturday, May 19, 2007, from noon to 5 PM, for the Gateway CDC's annual open studio tour with artists from the four towns comprising the Gateway Arts District—Hyattsville, North Brentwood, Brentwood and Mount Rainier, Maryland.

If they do have it, it's likely to be the same weekend, so Saturday May 17th.

Somewhere I have a guidebook from a city wide artists open studios tour, not from DC but from somewhere else...
