DC's Renaissance M Street Hearts the Local Arts
In these oh-so-shaky economic times, you’ve got to feel sorry for graduating college seniors. And when you consider the fates of art students — you know, those creative kids who have pretty much always looked forward to uncertain job prospects — things might seem particularly dire.
In Washington DC, the Renaissance M Street Hotel is doing its part to skip the pity party and celebrate the accomplishments of local aspiring artists. A new exhibit showcases the works of contemporary art works from graduating seniors of DC’s Corcoran College of Art + Design. The artworks will change quarterly, each time featuring 8 to 12 student works in the hotel’s M Bar lobby lounge and restaurant with the goal of introducing guests to “a new generation of modern American artists.”
The exhibit was recently unveiled in true art gallery style, with an organic wine tasting called “Put a CORC in it!” The hotel plans to continue quarterly such wine tasting events to coincide with the rotating exhibit. In the meantime, you can savor the newly arty atmosphere while downing specialty cocktails (from Andy Warhol-inspired concoctions to classic Hendricks martinis) or wine by the glass at M Bar, where you can lounge on leather couches and in comfy booths.
The current showing previews the now-running All-Senior Exhibition at the Corcoran College of Art + Design (through May 25th) with 10 student works.
