On Saturday, February 20th, No Kings Collective will transform a beautiful, newly renovated, 4-story Columbia Heights row house into a temporary gallery.

The name of the show, “Activation 2719”, reflects both the address of the location at 13th and Girard Streets and also an attempt to create life in an unoccupied historic location. "Activation 2719" will run from Feb 20th – Mar 13th.

This event is produced in close collaboration with ReadysetDC, and contains 9 unique bodies work from area artists all reflecting both their mastery of craft within their respective mediums.

Activation 2719 is a rare opportunity for the artist to curate themselves, with themes that reflect their own personal style and background. Artists were asked to produce ‘site specific’ small collections of work to best reflect what makes their work current and cutting edge.

The opening event will start at 6pm and will include a bar, food provided by Commonwealth Gastropub, and musical entertainment for the evening. Music on the 20th will be performed by Bullfight Academy, DJ Fleg, DJ Phil Real and DJ Smudge.

Free event, but you must RSVP at: www.readysetdc.com/2719
