Learn the stories behind some of DC's Murals at the Screening of the Documentary "Keeping On"
Friday, September 20th
3:00pm - 5:00pm
Free

Come learn the stories behind DC's murals! Washington artists explain the process and meaning behind public murals in NW and SE. Byron Peck’s Diamond Teague Memorial (2011) pays homage to a Youth Conservation Corps member who was murdered near the site; vibrant street art celebrates education (Explore and Learn, Albus Cavus Mural Collective, 2010), and graffiti plays to a green theme in Fuel for the Fire (Words Beats & Life, Inc., 2011). Caitlin Carroll previews her documentary film on the murals of DC.

NOTE: Stick around Anacostia for the opening reception from 6:00pm - 9:00pm at Honfleur Gallery, down the street, featuring works by Albus Cavus' own Peter Krsko!

Anacostia Neighborhood Library
1800 Good Hope Rd SE
Metro: Anacostia or Eastern Market and take the Circulator bus to the stop closest to 1800 Good Hope Rd, SE. It's about a 1.2 mile walk from the metro so best to take the bus, it runs about every ten minutes. See map from metro. Note: you catch the Circulator on the main street, not at the metro bus stop section.
