Community Arts in the Park
The Street Stage is a free community arts performance event that provides a creative outlet for those experiencing homelessness. Each event not only serves as a stage, but also as a way to break down barriers by bringing together artists and art enthusiasts regardless of their socioeconomic background.
On Saturday, Aug. 21, from 1 to 3:30 p.m., The Street Stage will welcome artists from around DC, whether homeless or housed, in Malcolm X/Meridian Hill Park (15th and Euclid Streets NW). The event will include stage performances (music, poetry, drama, etc.) as well as displays of visual works. For more information, call 301/233-2911.
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
