The space is in one single open room with two benches to sit on as you observe the art. They rotate exhibits often always giving people a reason to stop by. Like many other galleries in the city, it's free. They also host events from time to time.

First off, I need to tell you the area this gallery is kinda sketch. Like, really sketch. It is a…read morepretty new art place - the owner told me the space used to be a pawn shop. So yeah, nice neighborhood. Um..not really. I'm sure if the stadium project happens, this hood is going to turn around like U Street has, but until then -- enjoy the view of a burned out building. And if you get hungry there is a take out pizza place right next door so there's a plus. I got a preview of the show going on now (although I heard a rumor they had to postpone the opening due to some maintenance/construction issues). If you have ever said "Art is boring," the No Scratchers exhibit is for you. You'll see photos of people in ink (that means tattoos to those folks not in the know). Really beautiful, unique, and not the norm as far as "art" goes.

Here's what's to love: 1) Ethos: The owner, Stephanie, bought the house years ago with the desire to turn it into a positive force for the neighborhood. In September 2019, the grand opening party was the manifestation of her dream. She welcomes local artists as residents for 1-3 months. They get free rent and a stipend for meals and their work. The outside space is large and the neighborhood garden is tended to by the neighbors and produces great vegetables for all. 2) Art: The first floor of the house is an art studio from local artists and displaying art of the artist residents. If you support local arts, especially East of the River, this is a must-visit while in D.C.

The environment was nice and I loved being at Nat's park during non-baseball hours. They had tasty food truck and other cool vendors. I think there could have been even more local businesses or restaurants included. While I enjoyed the samples, I don't know that this event was worth the pricey ticket. I enjoyed finding a new brewery to support!

It may not be easy being green but this is the perfect music festival to celebrate your greenness!…read more Shamrockfest is a gathering of all things Irish. The bands are fun. If you need a kilt or beads, chances are good that you'll find one here. Parking is $20 and they only take cash. There are buses and metro, if you plan your route. My dream scenario would be getting rid of VIP and just selling one type of ticket. Pricing is cheaper when you buy four tickets. There aren't lots of food choices but you can find some Irish themed munchies. Most attendees dress in costume, which makes the event festive and fun. Wear comfy shoes since you are basically walking around a giant parking lot. The "bathrooms" are porta pots. The artist lineup is featured on the Facebook and Twitter pages of Shamrockfest. If you exit the area, you can't return.

Won VIP tickets through Yelp this year! Thanks Yelp!…read more Giving this a three stars because I think this event could be better, though it was okay. The weather sucked and maybe the event hosts could have heated seating areas? I would even pay a dollar to just sit under a heated tent and enjoy my beer with some good music. Came early to avoid long lines but came to see lots of beer lines so you were never waiting for a new beer. Though, there were no carnival games as advertised but corn hole. Sure there are your typical festival/fair shacks but where's the Irish food? Pizza food truck and funnel cake, Turkey leg galore is great but lemme get a bake potato or something. Lots porter potty's so never stress if you feel the urge. Not sure if I'll attend next year just due to how cold it is but I'm glad I attended this year.

I recommend going here for the wine tasting. Yes I'm at it again. I could taste wine every…read moreweekend if i could. For the wine tasting you don't have to pay to get in. It's on the board walk. You pay for a band and the cost for all the tasting of the wines was just $25.00 which is actually not a bad price. They had numerous wine vendors i want to say about 12 or more. They also had tables with tents set up everywhere pretty impressive because we always bring our chairs because we don't know what the seating situation would be. It's not like your typical wine festival where they have more wine vendors but then they have longer lines. The lines here was not bad at all. They had bands performing which I must say was great! They only had about 3 food vendors which I wish they had offered a little more but the one we selected food from was tasty. I had the jerk catfish with 1 side order of plantains. Which was $11.00 not to bad of a price. It was very tasty with a kick! My fiancée had the pulled pork sandwich with a side order of cabbage. The pulled pork was delicious but he said the cabbage was watered down with no flavor. I kind of figured that it would be. Everyone there was very friendly and from what I understand they have a free movie on the beach on Saturday night. Way to go if your a local. I would definitely recommend this location for the wine tasting and we purchased about 4 bottles of wine to go. This is how we do it...

We went this year because we won free tickets at a Baltimore Sun Insider event. We had a good time wandering through the booths and exhibits. We started by buying excellent BBQ at the Soul Food truck. Then we sampled some of the beer, wine and hard cider being given out for free at various stands. Everything we tried was good and often exotic, like raspberry and peach wines. There were also a number of vendors selling tee shirts, jewelry, pottery, pictures, spicy peanuts, popcorn, and candy. (Many of the food vendors were giving out samples.) One thing I'd recommend: There's not a lot of places to sit; if I'd known, we might have brought along folding chairs like many of the other patrons.
