Southwest DC Pops
By Ann Farley
Southwest DC is a vibrant neighborhood filled with unexpected delights & innovative programs that bring the community together. Community suppers invite neighbors to get to know one another while sharing a meal, while the farmers’ market serves as a focal point for gathering and wellness outdoors. Follow the water to the iconic Duck Pond urban retreat or learn the story of the landmark fish market founded in 1805. Southwest’s proximity & participation in the jubilation that is cherry blossom season in DC bonds residents & attracts visitors from near and far. My bold graphical style of bright colors against a contrasting background tells residents and visitors alike of nearby community resources and provides a sense of pride and belonging. In today’s busy world, I hope locals are reminded of opportunities for connection through fun programs – and travelers from all over the world will discover meaningful local places, projects, & events.
