———-

Starting Saturday, February 20th, ReadysetDC will co-host ACTIVATION 2719 with No Kings Collective.

ACTIVATION 2719 is a pop-up gallery, located in Columbia Heights at 2719 13th Street NW, at the corner of 13th & Girard Streets NW. The show’s opening event will start at 6PM on Saturday, February 20th and end at 11PM. The participating artists are Tim “Con” Conlon, DECOY, James Walker, Emily Green Liddle, Bryan Rojsuontikul, Aniekan Udofia Drew Graham and Diana Cruz, as well as No Kings Collective themselves: Brandon Hill, Francisco Esteban and Peter Chang.

Activation 2719 is a rare opportunity for the artist to curate themselves, with themes that reflect their own personal style and background. Artist were asked to produce ‘site specific’ small collections of work to best be reflective of what makes their work both current and cutting edge. The range of works, genres, and mediums within Activation 2719 are as diverse as the artist themselves. These artists are contemporary in their niche while also pushing boundaries in art, both local and nationally. The common thread of these artists is their instantly recognizable use of intense color and topics within in their works, from the dynamic clean duct tape works and installations of artist Bryan Rojsuontikul to the graphic pen style and social commentary seen within the work of Aniekan Udofia. Activation 2719 promises to be unforgettable merger of style and character. 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 6th will be performed by Bullfight Academy, DJ Fleg, DJ Phil Real and DJ Smudge.

While this is a free event, it is RSVP ONLY. Please RSVP at readysetdc.com/2719 by 3pm on February 20th.
