Meet Cute in Crestwood

This summer Day Eight will publish a book of poetry and launch a local history project in partnership with the American University Art Museum.

Help us match the grants provided to start those project at a house party in DC’s Crestwood neighborhood Saturday May 20th. At the event you’ll be able to meet a bunch of the folks involved with those projects, and in addition, the following honored guests will be attending in support:

Brandon Todd,  Ward 4 DC Councilmember
Joy Austin,  Executive Director of DC Humanities Council
Ebone Bell,  Publisher of Tagg Magazine
Matt Wood,  Policy Director of Free Press
Jon West-Bey,  Board Chair of American Poetry Museum
John Chambers,  Founder of Bloombars
and
John Mason,  Board Chair of Washington Area Lawyers for the Arts

It’ll be a fun chance to get into some great conversations at a gorgeous private home. Get your tickets here.

Thanks to Mr. John Mahshie and Mr. Michael Faubion for hosting us.
