Art Whino commissioned Atlanta based artist HENSE to complete a full building mural wrap resulting in the building’s current lively, colorful and graphic appearance. Following this intervention, Art Whino teamed up with Australian mural artist, MEGGS, to create a mural that covers what will be the performance space on the second floor of the building; the mural covers the entire room from floor to ceiling with bursts of primary color and stylized imagery in bold black outlines. Just like in past years, the G40 will be a massive exhibit featuring over 300 artists and 500 works from around the globe. The exhibition will feature canvas work from artists, installation walls, installation rooms and full size 10’ murals. The sheer size of the exhibit will require multiple visits to take in the full experience. Events throughout the month will allow visitors to return to the space and continue their exhibition experience, including various opportunities to meet featured artists and attend a wide variety of programming, from musical performances to social events.
Heineken joins the team this year as a official sponsor of this year's Summit. Following the successful debut of the Heineken Mural Project during Miami’s 2012 Art Basel, the company continues with the project in Washington D.C. and hosts the Heineken Lounge at the G40 host venue. Heineken Lounge attendees will get a chance to meet and see the work of the Heineken Mural Artists in a sensory-stimulating space while enjoying Heineken product and snagging giveaways. Heineken’s commitment to supporting mural art makes the company an ideal supporter of G40. The lounge will have a DJ and furniture for people to relax and chill surrounded by art and music. In addition to this lounge, Heineken be will activating four blank walls throughout Washington DC that will be part of the Heineken Mural Project. These full facade murals will be completed by the same four artists that will create murals at G40’s Heineken Lounge, in this way connecting back to the event space and acting both as an art piece that encourages and inspires creativity in the community and as an art piece that spreads awareness of the month long G40 event.
Along with the month-long festivities at the Heineken Lounge at G40, the party continues throughout D.C. with several secret Heineken Pop Up Parties & Concerts at the mural sites. Parties will be announced on Twitter and Instagram via the #heinekenmurals hashtag. Art lovers are invited to visit the murals during this creative process, share photos on Instagram (using #HeinekenMurals) and tour the murals, which integrates quick response (QR) code technology. Each mural will have QR codes which can be scanned from the pedestrian’s smart phone leading them to The Heineken Mural Project website with information on the murals, artists, photos, videos and events.
In accordance with the gallery’s mission to support, promote and grow Washington DC’s arts scene we are also proud to announce that Art Whino will have a permanent presence in Washington DC with the establishment of BLIND WHINO: SW Arts Club. Blind Whino is our non-profit venture which will provide a wide range of programming at 700 Delaware Ave. Programming will range from Art Workshops to Art Events. The building will also serve as a beacon that exemplifies the positive impact that mural art can have on a community. HENSE’s exterior mural created a catalyst for new life for this building and MEGG’s recently completed mural proliferates this life into the interior of the empty building with its graphic primary colors and colossal scale. The Art Club at the 700 Delaware building will inspire the community to spread the arts throughout Washington DC.

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.
