URBAN FOREST Project in DC!

The URBAN FOREST Project seeks sponsors for a massive spring art event in DC:


"The Urban Forest Project is a series of unprecedented outdoor banner exhibitions taking root in cities around the world. In each location, artists, designers, students and the general public will employ the idea or form of the tree to make a powerful visual statement on banners that will be displayed throughout the community.


The tree is a metaphor for sustainability and, in that spirit, the banners at the close of each exhibition will be recycled into totebags and auctioned off to raise money for a local non-profit organization." Proceeds will go to support local Washington, DC tree planting and sustainability initiatives.


This project, conceived by Worldstudio, is being presented in Washington, DC by the District Department of Transportation (DDOT), in collaboration with the Corcoran College of Art and Design, AIGA DC and Downtown DC Business Improvement District. Seed funding for the project was provided through a grant from the USDA Forest Service.

ADS vs. AIDS

Don't miss this important historical collection of ORIGINAL Advertisements from the 80's AIDS epidemic.

AIDS is still very much an ongoing battle. These images depict deeply impactful awareness-raising campaigns, from the beginning of the outbreak here in the U.S. The ideas presented here are still very relevant.

The condom-centric show features works like: "He Loves me, He loves me not" then "He Loves Me" printed next a beautiful huge condom; Sleep With A Lifeguard Tonight” and "Stops Transmission-Fluid Leaks" are other classics from the period.

Proceeds from the professionally framed images benefit Whitman-Walker Clinic and Food & Friends. -All images donated by Jeff McElhaney.

On view at Long View Gallery until December 31st

Long View Gallery Grand Re-Opening

Friday October 23, 2009


Last night the DC arts scene witnessed a historic moment with the Grand Re-Opening of Long View gallery on 9th st.


With 5,000 square feet of ultra modern industrial space, Long View is THE event location to be in. Located directly across from the convention center, the front and back galleries are complimented by superb lighting and a relaxing outdoor rear patio.








Roughly a thousand people in the arts, events, fashion, & design communities were treated to a phenomenal collection of new works by artists:

Scott Brooks
Anna U. Davis
Steve Pyke
Dana Ellyn
Matt Sesow
Tony Savoie
Drew Ernst
Victor Ekpuk
Mike Weber
Billy Colbert
John Whipple
Stacie Albano
Chris Stephens

Attendees were greeted by the wizened and formidable visage of Sir Ian McKellen as shot by Steve Pyke, the original of which hangs in the National Portrait Gallery.



Scott Brooks, whose pieces are featured here, has been showing with Long View for a couple years now. He had a big solo show in May of ’08, and has another one coming up next year.



Anna Davis spent seven months on her largest piece, which pays homage to her Swedish heritage with a gorgeous depiction of the celebration known as Midsummer. (Midsummer is also sometimes referred to by Neopagans and others as "Litha".)

You MUST see the works while the show is in its present state of Spectacularity!!!

Special Thanks to Drew, Suzi, and of course William for making it all possible. The guys at Dissident Display were in collaboration with DJ Yoko for a "Hypnagogic" music performance. Catering by Occassions was delectable! The martinis were sublime in Pear/Raspberry & Apple Cinnamon. Altogether an incredibly fulfilling event!!!!
