Weekend Art Roundup

Apologies, yet again, TNG. I've finally handed in my last graduate paper and, after what is going to be an exceptionally celebratory weekend (as it also includes my birthday), I will be back full time next week.

Here are a few arty events this weekend, though it seems like everyone's schedules are so jam packed that no one has time to hit any galleries.

Tonight

Artomatic is still in full swing, and head over there tonight to meet some of the artists and check out the immense amount of work on display.

Tomorrow:

Transformer Gallery opens Here and Now, with a few events, at 1840 14th St., NW. The web site notes that the new show focuses "on issues of place, time, fragility, security and fantasy, this two-site exhibition features 17 artists creating large scale, site-specific installations and environments within Transformer's project space."

Tomorrow and Sunday:

Mid City Artists Spring Open Studios — The Mid City Artists, a diverse group of more than 40 professional artists, open their studios today and tomorrow from 12-5 p.m. Galleries are between Logan and Dupont Circle. Visit their web site to check out the artists, download a map of the participating studios and plan your own weekend art festival.
