Description
Kicking off the start of DC Design Week 2021, we’re joining forces with SHAOLIN JAZZ as they celebrate their 10th Anniversary. DJ 2Tone Jones and Gerald Watson will be diggin’ in the crates musically and visually to showcase selected works through their SOUND PATTERNS Art Exhibition which includes album covers, event posters, and iconography that look back over the 10 years SHAOLIN JAZZ have been producing community based events.
We’ll also have drink and draw with featuring selected artwork from SHAOLIN JAZZ and DC based artist, designer and muralist, Kelly Towles.
There will be drinking, there will be music and there will be dancing, you won’t want to miss it!
