Last week, the D.C. Commission on Arts and Humanities opened its call for applications for its 2010 grant season. Each year the well-funded DCCAH has hundreds of thousands of dollars to give away to the artistically-minded, and the crazy part is that they can't seem to find enough people to give it all away to every year. Free money, guys! You just have to ask!

       

Last night the D.C. Commission on Arts and Humanities held a meeting in the Martin Luther King, Jr. Library to solicit opinions regarding public art in the city. DCCAH hired consultants (Via Partnership and Todd Bressi, an urban planner) last summer to research and present a five-year plan to identify locations, projects and collaborations that would most benefit both the residents and visitors of D.C. Last night's meeting invited city residents to come and interact with advocates of public art, with the goal of developing new ideas and hearing what citizens want to see.
