DC is as busy as a bee with the third installation of Art Buzz at 9th and U.

Be sure to mark you calendar for Thursday's event with a night of fine Italian wine and Art Buzz. The event is housed in the office of Senate Realty, Washington’s most innovative and customer service oriented real estate company, in the heart of the U Street Corridor.

Art Buzz, in its second year, is designed to showcase the works of DC’s top artists and actively raise funds for the DC Collaborative’s Arts for Every Student (AFES) program. AFES provides DC public and chartered schools with access to cultural opportunities throughout the Washington metropolitan area. The DC Collaborative ensures that underserved DC public schools benefit from the region’s rich array of arts amenities. They provide free transportation and free tickets to storytelling presentations, music, dance, and theater experiences; plus trips to The Kennedy Center and museums. In addition the Collaborative provides teachers with professional development sessions and study materials, adding further incentive to integrate the arts into their daily lessons. In the 2006-2007 school year, more than 31,000 students and teachers visited cultural institutions through AFES.

Donations of $5 are requested at the door and you will have the opportunity to purchase more than 40 works of art and sample two distinctive wines from Zonin, USA.
