The Water Street Project

Outside The Water Street Project the temperature was 68 degrees, inside was another story. Yes the crowds added copious body heat to the venue, but it felt like the energy and optimism of the night added a few extra degrees. Growing up in the Washington DC area, events like this simply did not exist. We plan on never taking them for granted!

If you missed the grand opening last night don’t worry: the Water Street Project has another full lineup of bands tonight from 8PM to 2AM. See the schedule HERE. - UPDATE: The events tonight (4/21) have sadly been cancelled.

Yesterday we shot a short-film preview of The Water Street Projectan 11 day temporary art exhibition organized by No Kings Collective. The film features our friend Kelly Towles, an exceptionally prodigious Washington DC muralist and street artist. Watch the film to see Kelly create his exterior mural and get a glimpse of some of the other installations in this must-attend show.

Launch day is April 19th but the opening party is Friday, April 20th at 8PM - this will be one of the best art events of the Spring/Summer, just as Submerge was last year - see you there!
