I’m always on the lookout for new, unorthodox things to do in DC. New York may be the city that doesn’t sleep, but DC is the city that will never bore. From street performances, to art installations, to jazz in the sculpture garden to Screen at the Green – there is always something unique happening in our nation’s capital.
The newest kid on the block? ArtJamz Paint in the Park! Every Thursday in June, ArtJamz invites anyone and everyone with a creative inkling to pick up a paintbrush and be inspired by the city’s great outdoors that is Farragut Square Park. For $30, future picasso’s receive a 16×20 stretch canvas on which to paint your creation, an easel and of course, all of the materials you’ll need to assuage your creative juices, acrylic paints, brushes, etc. Top it off with live music from the Golden Triangle Summer Concert Series and your inner artist will practically jump onto the canvas!
Purchase your tickets in advance online to snag your spot. Blankets and chairs are recommended!
If Thursday’s don’t work for you, check out some of ArtJamz studios sessions!
Don’t worry if you have no natural artistic ability – just get out there and have some fun with friends! Live music, sunshine and good people are all you really need to have a great time!

If you’re willing to trade the benefit of being in the great outdoors for the delicious ability to be sipping wine, Scoutmob is running a deal for the same price where you get to paint and drink in their Connecticut Avenue studio/bar. https://secure.scoutmob.com/washington-dc/hand-picked
I’m not sure yet which one sounds like more fun. Close call!
