“Modernism: Designing a New World 1914-1939” at the Corcoran Gallery of Art

Modernism is certainly a controversial word. In the history of Art and in literature, the time frame of Modernism is debatable however it is usually deemed to denote the very specific time period between the first and second world wars. However, traces of Modernism are found in the every day lives of people across the globe.

DC in the Pink

Admin — Mon, 09 Apr 2007 14:18:27 -0500

Every year cherry trees bloom and draw millions of visitors to the nation’s capital to absorb the views of pink and white. Some years it is so cold the buds barely want to peek out, and others it is so hot that they burst out, bloom and snow a pink storm of petals before anyone realizes that the event has happened.

Proudly representing the Irish flag the 6th Annual Shamrock Festival

For those of you lucky enough to have attended Washington, DC's 6th Annual Shamrock Fest last Saturday you may have noticed a few things. First off the weather couldn't have been better with the sun shinning brightly and temperatures in the 60's. Also, there was three times the space this year with HiBall Events' decision to move the festival away from the crowded Ballston area to the open parking lot at RFK. Many people initially complained about this change of venue and even protested with Anti-Shamrock Fest parties, but I for one appreciated more entrances, more beer taps, and more bathrooms Read more »
