Self Portrait

Today I attended an event called Artomatic. It's a month-long art festival in the DC area that is "by artists, for everyone." It is absolutely free to the public.

This year's event is in a former office building that's slated for demolition. It features 10 floors of art by more than 1,000 artists: Visual art, music, performance, film, fashion, and more. Workshops, tours, seminars and other events are held all month long.

It's cool yet overwhelming at the same time: so much stuff to see, so many genres! The quality of the art varies greatly as it's all non-juried exhibits. I visited five of the 10 floors, then my ankle started aching and we called it a day.

The pic is of me, as a reflection in a piece of mosaic art made of mirror bits. :)
