Copyrights: All pictures were taken by amateur photographer Bruce Guthrie (me!) who retains copyright on them. Free for non-commercial use with attribution. See the [Creative Commons] definition of what this means. "Photos (c) Bruce Guthrie" is fine for attribution. (Commercial use folks including AI scrapers can of course contact me.) Feel free to use in publications and pages with attribution but you don't have permission to sell the photos themselves. A free copy of any printed publication using any photographs is requested. Descriptive text, if any, is from a mixture of sources, quite frequently from signs at the location or from official web sites; copyrights, if any, are retained by their original owners.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Wikipedia Description: Artisphere
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Artisphere is a cultural center located in the Rosslyn section of Arlington, Virginia.

The Cultural Affairs Division of Arlington County, Virginia organized the new institution, which opened in October 2010. Artisphere occupies the space that previously housed the Newseum until its relocation to Washington, DC on March 3, 2002, as well as a nearby theatre which was orginially build to show motion pictures.

Facilities:

The 62,000 sq ft (5,800 m2) facility was converted at a cost of $6.7 million. The specific facilities include:

* 220-seat Dome Theatre, for concerts and films
* 4,000 sq ft (370 m2) Terrace Gallery, for art exhibits
* WiFi Town Square, with a two-story high video wall
* 3,000 sq ft (280 m2) Ballroom
* 125-seat black box theatre
* 387-seat Spectrum Theatre
* retail space for selling crafts

Operation:

Artisphere will have an annual operating budget of $3.1 million, of which $300,000 will be funded by the Rosslyn Business Improvement District. Programming will include serving as the home of the Washington Shakespeare Company, the Bowen McCauley Dance Company and the National Chamber Ensemble. The Arlington Cinema and Drafthouse and the Alexandria Symphony have also pledged to produce events there, and the ballroom is expected to be used for salsa, swing and social dancing.

The center's name was selected from among those proposed by a opinion poll of Arlington residents. The name is inspired by the geodesic dome that houses one of the theaters.
Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
2011 photos: Trips this year: Civil War Trust conferences (Savannah, GA, Chattanooga, TN), New Jersey over Memorial Day for my birthday (people never seem to visit New Jersey -- it's always just a pit stop on the way to New York. I thought I might as well spend a few days there. Despite some nice places, it still ended up a pit stop for me -- New York City was infinitely more interesting), my 6th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and San Francisco). Ego strokes: Author photos that I took were used on two book jackets this year: Jason Emerson's book "The Dark Days of Abraham Lincoln's Widow As Revealed by Her Own Letters" and Dennis L. Noble's "The U.S. Coast Guard's War on Human Smuggling." I also had a photo of Jason Stelter published in the Washington Examiner and a picture of Miss DC, Ashley Boalch, published in the Washington Post. Equipment this year: I mostly used the Fuji S100fs camera as well as two Nikon models -- the D90 and the new D7000. Mostly a toy, I also purchased a Fuji Real 3-D W3 camera, to try out 3-D photographs. I found it interesting although I don't see any real use for 3-D stills now. Given that many of the photos from the 1860s were in 3-D (including some of the more famous Civil War shots), it's odd to see it coming back. Number of photos taken this year: just over 390,000.
