Washington Project for the Arts A nomadic venue in the district for decades, the nonprofit contemporary art organization now takes up 1,400 square feet of gallery space. The floor-to-ceiling glass facade faces the sidewalk, allowing passers-by to view works by painters, photographers and even unique performance artists.

Connersmith This gallery specializes in Post-War and Contemporary Art, maintaining long-term representation of internationally influential artists. Presenting works in diverse media, the gallery promotes art that contributes to important historical movements, with a particular focus on innovations, realism and artistic performances.

D/CITY EATSOwners of Sushi Capital and Sushi Ogawa are bringing a new concept to D.C. with a restaurant that will transform from daytime to nighttime. Their popular spot, Mirai is already open and functioning as a ready-to-eat marketplace that offers coffee, tea, and Japanese bento boxes during lunchtime hours. Very soon, they’ll be opening and transforming the same space for the evening hours with an intimate, sexy Japanese restaurant — perfect for foodies and cozy date nights!

“ I feel a lot of pressure in designing physical objects, because they actually take up space and energy. Your designs have to count.”

Rather than pursing a design career after graduating, Jonah Takagi moved to Portland.Soon after, he made his way to Washington, D.C. where he spent his twenties immersed in music. By 30, his mother suggested he find a real career, so the musician-turned-furniture designer decided it was time to found his own business.

Founded in 2016, Argent makes stylish, functional work-wear designed to help women shatter the glass ceiling. With locations in New York, San Francisco, and now D.C., the brand reaches beyond clothing to create community, change and conversation.

“The city environment of D.C. definitely informs and influences my work. I think

at the same time though, it’s about breaking free

from it all.”

“When I first moved to D.C., I worked as a

carpenter building sets for movies.”

“ We’re into those who take charge and make noise. But change can’t stop at the closet door. Join us in a community aiming to dropkick the glass ceiling. “

“Ambition is no longer blind. It's time to change

the conversation–and your clothes!”

“I almost went into architecture like my dad, but I eventually

gravitated toward furniture. It allowed me to make things

with my own hands.”

“Finding a few good options, we made our

own. For you. For once, find what you deserve!”

Traveling extensively around the world allowed artist Kristin Gaudio Endsley to find her trademark ability to create visual textures with a rich, adventurous color palatte. Relying on intuition, her expressive techniques can be seen throughout her art. The abstract painter and ceramicist expresses herself intuitively through her body of work, which has earned her global attention. After several years in London, she’s moved back to Washington, D.C. to continue her craft. We spoke with Kristin about her beautiful artwork, where she finds inspiration, and what she loves most about living and working on the east side of the city.

COLOR ENVY/ KRISTIN GUADIO ENDSLEY

What do you like most about being a creative in D.C.?

Are there any places that have inspired certain pieces of art?

D.C. weaves so many makers together and I love it! The community of creatives is inclusive, accepting, and there are so many opportunities for collaborations. The city also allows for non-traditional ways of showing work.

The Shooting Star collection is based off of one clear night in Somerset, where the shooting stars were in abundance. Sydney, Australia inspired the Wave collection. Marrakech, Morocco gave me color inspiration for years to come as well as an abundance of palm tree sketches!

Tell us your backstory. How did you first start creating art?

Do you remember the first thing you ever made?

I think it’s something I was born with... this desire to create. I took art classes through high school and went to college for fashion design. After college, I taught art and worked in fashion a bit for a few years, then I made the leap to a full time studio artist.

No, but I do remember my second grade art teacher holding up a picture of The Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh. I was completely captivated and wanted to paint just like him. It was love at first sight.

You’re adventurous with color. What do you like about mixing hues?I like putting together a palette of colors that’s unexpected, and making a combination that has a resonating impact. It’s magic to hear someone say they love the colors and would have never imagined that combination. I’ve used pops of neon for awhile... I blame my 80s childhood for that obsession!
