Invitation to participate in the CHASE Open House and Community Resource Fair on Sept 21
Dear Ward 8 Community-Based Organizations,
My name is Evelyn Kasongo and I am the Ward 8 Neighborhood Planner with the DC Office of Planning. This message serves as an invitation to participate at the CHASE Open House and Community Resource Fair on September 21, 2013 from 9:00am-12:00pm at Savoy Elementary School (2400 Shannon Pl. SE). We would like offer your group the opportunity to occupy a booth/table at the Fair to present your organization’s information and resources to community members. As way of background, the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) was awarded a $3 million community Challenge Planning grant in late 2010 from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development. The grant has supported a number of initiatives and builds on existing city and federal investment in the area of Congress Heights, Anacostia, and St. Elizabeths (hence the acronym, CHASE). For the current effort, the CHASE Action Agenda, OP and DHCD are working jointly together to foster the implementation of community priorities as outlined at the Ward 8 Community Summits. Attached is a one-page summary of the CHASE Action Agenda effort.
The goal of the CHASE Action Agenda is to prioritize implementation and develop community resources to ensure that area residents and businesses realize the benefits of renewed growth and development. Our team, consisting of representatives from the Office of Planning and the Department of Housing and Community Development, has identified a number of Community Based Organizations in Ward 8 that provide resources in the areas of Jobs, Affordable Housing, Retail and Entrepreneurship/Small Business development. The purpose of the Community Resource Fair is to link residents and businesses in the CHASE area to existing programs, funding, technical assistance, training and job-placement services. While OP and DHCD will be organizing, convening and providing outreach for this event, we will be relying on the contributions of several City Agencies and your community-based organizations to provide valuable on-site expertise and information at the Resource Fair. Please see attached event outreach flyer.

Coming Soon | Art Romp Anacostia
For Immediate Release
August 12, 2013
Anacostia Arts Center and Curator Molly Ruppert are excited to bring the notorious group show, “Art Romp” to Anacostia. The exhibition will feature over 50 artists from all sides of the river, exhibiting many modes of artistic expression--including painting, photography, quilting, performance art, new media, and sculpture.
Anacostia Arts Center is located at 1231 Good Hope Road SE. Opening Night is Friday, August 23 from 5-9pm. The show begins the following day, August 24th, and runs until September 15th. During this time the center will be open Tuesday-Friday from 11am-5pm and on Saturdays from 12pm-6pm. The exhibition is FREE and open to the public.
Anacostia Art Center’s Director Kate Taylor Davis remarks, “In exploring ways to introduce our new facility to the arts community, I immediately thought of Molly Ruppert. Her dedication to nurturing artists and the arts scene in DC is astounding, and I have missed her Art Romps in recent years. I pitched her the idea of taking that energy to Anacostia, and I couldn’t be more excited she said ‘yes.’”
Molly Ruppert curated Art Romp 20 times over a span of 15 years at her Warehouse Arts Space on New York Avenue. As director and curator of the space from its initial opening in 1994, Molly has grown to become a much sought over and prominent curator. And in 2012, the Washington Project for the Arts presented Molly with the prestigious "Alice Denney Award" for her support of contemporary art.
