Blitz, Capitol Hill’s Second Thursday Arts Walk, occurs next on Thursday, September 10 from 5:00 to 8:00pm.  As Ellen Forney describes it:

Blitz showcases works many might otherwise miss, on the walls of coffee shops, retailers, and other corners of the neighborhood. features a dynamic range of visual and performing arts in venues throughout the neighborhood including galleries, coffee shops, private studios, and street corners. Produced by the Capitol Hill Chamber of Commerce, these events have been engaging and entertaining for the enthusiastic walkers, businesses, and artists in our vibrant, quirky, artsy neighborhood.

Selected offerings from the September Blitz: 

Vermillion

“New Cityscapes” by local painter Ann Duffy: Hyperrealist snapshots in time with long stretches of empty roadway, glimpses of iconographic buildings, or humorously altered roadway signage.

Babeland

“Blood and Honey,” Landscapes by Airin Hail: Surreal, feminine, narrative multimedia paintings that use the language of symbols from Neolithic Eastern Europe to the Kali Temples of India.
