Call for art and artists!

Capoeira DC is celebrating our 15 year anniversary. As part of our 15 Days of Capoeira, we will have a fundraising art show at the academy (2008 Rhode Island Ave. NE) on Friday, Sept 29th from 7-9pm.

We are requesting donations of art pieces that are ready for a new home. We are also looking for artists to submit work and especially create CapoeiraDC themed pieces.

Donor and studio will split the sales price 50/50.

Please submit donated pieces to the studio by Wednesday, Sept 20th. If artists are creating new pieces they will have additional time. Submit questions to Maceo via text 202-285-4529 or email [email protected]

Share with friends, family and your favorite artists.
