DeanwoodxDesign, weekends of July 14--October 31

We are excited to be an official partner for the DeanwoodxDesign Arts and Cultural Temporium Project taking place each weekend in Deanwood from July 14, 2012-October 31, 2012. DeanwoodxDesign is hosting a series of events of the next four months to showcase the culture of Deanwood. The Deanwood community will host a variety of free workshops, art exhibitions, film discussions, listening parties, and dancing intensives to celebrate the works of artists and activists within its neighborhoods, and The Fishing School is one of those locations!  Check out DCist's mention of TFS's opening event, and see photos of each week's artwork here.
