Remember to join us tonight for the Emerge Exposed panel discussion. Pink Line Project hosts this event for those who want to learn more about supporting local arts -- you'll be able to listen to and ask questions of a knowledgable group of artists and collectors answer questions about seeking out and buying art. This year, art dealer Catriona Fraser and photographer Tom Wolffe will join moderator Philippa Hughes. more ›

One of the goals we've developed for the DCist Exposed Photography Show is creating a casual venue to explore art. This is both for new artists who are finding their footing as photographers, as well as new art enthusiasts, who feel comfortable enjoying the classics in D.C.'s many museum collections, but may be unsure where to start when it comes to supporting the arts locally. We want Exposed to be a great avenue to start your art collection – by offering artwork featuring something you love (a piece of D.C.) at a relatively low price point, allowing new patrons to support new artists. more ›

In the former R.L. Christian Library, a pop-up fashion boutique has transformed an unused space into a quirky wi-fi lounge and shop. A project of the Pink Line Project and the District's Office of Planning, Temporium is part-retail shop, part-party spot -- but mostly a unique and interesting use of vacant space. more ›

While you can still stroll through the DCist Exposed Photography Show anytime during Long View Gallery's regular hours until March 21, we still have one more big event before the show closes. Pink Line Project's fantastic Emerge Exposed: Photography for the Emerging Collector panel discussion is back for its third year, featuring three great people from the local art community who will discuss that other side of the art exhibit: purchasing a piece for your very own. Art buying can be a confusing, intimidating task if you've never done it before, so the panel will give you tips and ideas and be available for all your questions, including information about framing, image quality, and heck, how do you even know what you like enough to actually take home with you? more ›

Big thanks to the nearly 70 people who made it out last night for Emerge Exposed, our panel discussion for the DCist Exposed Photography Show. Brian Knight Photography took this wide angle shot as people filtered in to Flashpoint's Mead Theater Lab to take their seats (and also gave his own live-tweet of the discussion, cut and pasted to his Flickr caption). You can see our four panelists waiting to share their knowledge about all things photography, and I, for one, can say I learned a ton this year. Thanks to the Pink Line Project and the Cultural Development Corporation for organizing this event again for us. more ›

The 2008 DCist Exposed Photography Show has been quite a ride this year. We started with nearly 600 fantastic entries, giving our judges the tough job of picking only 47 winning images. We watched people line up down the street to get into our packed opening reception. The folks at Civilian Art Projects have watched a constant stream of visitors come into the gallery during their regular opening hours. Wednesday night we teamed with Civilian and The Pink Line Project, who put together a fascinating panel to discuss what it means to become a collector to a standing-room only audience. And this year we've received a humbling amount of mainstream press about the show (with only a little bit of old school balking at the notion of one of those things on the intertubes curating an art show). more ›

We hope you RSVP'd early to tonight's Emerge Exposed panel, because it's gonna be a packed house. Philippa Hughes and the Pink Line Project, in conjunction with Civilian Art Projects, have set up a fantastic line up for the panel discussion tonight, starting promptly at 7 p.m. Our four panelists will discuss the ins-and-outs of becoming an art collector and what you really need to know to make that first purchase. more ›

We're left with only a few short hours until the second annual DCist Exposed Photography Show opens to the public. Yesterday a few of us went to Civilian Art Projects to hang the 47 winning entries, and were blown away seeing them all professionally framed and on a gallery wall. We're so used to seeing the talents of our photography contributors on our monitors while surfing the Flickr pool, it's almost hard to believe how great these photos look in person. more ›
