Wow. We’re blown away. It was an absolutely packed house at the opening reception for DCist Exposed last night; in fact, we heard numerous comments about “possible broken fire codes” and “structural integrity of the building.” An estimated 500 to 600 people filled the Warehouse Art Gallery to celebrate our first photography show, meet the photographers, and buy shiny new art for their walls.

Big thanks to everyone who navigated the crowd to join us, including all the photographers who we finally got to meet face-to-face. We’d also like to welcome to our humble site all the folks who heard about the show by word-of-mouth and are now surely to become faithful readers.

Everyone here at DCist is thrilled that the community has been so enthusiastic about this idea — and after the many, many inquiries we heard last night about the “next show,” we can almost assuredly say DCist Exposed will be back again to showcase our local, amazing talent.

Don’t forget, all this beautiful, DC-loving art work is for sale, so contact heather [at] dcist [dot] com for purchasing information, and support these folks who so generously let us use their work, and are certainly all stars on the rise.
