Guys, it is pretty hot out there. The good news is, every other Thursday during the summer (and beyond) we will be hopping from one cool venue to the next for the Heineken AfterWork happy hours which will always involve: something cool to do, a delicious (and often free) beer, and little, cool surprises.

The series kicked off last Thursday at one of our favorite rooftops in town, at The Liaison Capitol Hill, who kindly lent us their pool for the first ever AfterWork in D.C. Smudge DJed, the first 75 people on site got a free beer, and there were tacos and happy hour Heineken specials all night long. We plan to be back at this pool A LOT this season.

The next edition is next Thursday at Suburbia at Union Market and will include hoptails, watercoloring and hanging out in front of a cool airstream. Details and RSVP here.

About the show

According to figures from the United Nations, “the world’s population is expected to increase by two billion persons in the next 30 years…and could peak at nearly 11 billion around 2100.” As the human footprint expands across the planet, what will happen to the world that supports us? How will cities develop to cope with a growing population? Can we stay connected to the environment around us without destroying it?

In this exhibition, Johab Silva examines the role of political powers, communities and individuals in balancing the needs of people and nature. His viewpoint is clear: we will be judged on
the outcome. As artists, we need to ask how our personal responsibility manifests itself in our creative vision.

He has been exhibited nationally and internationally including at the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Transformer Gallery, Cody Gallery, Miami Art Palace and the Santo Andre Museum of Art.
