The Future is Now!!!
EVEN IN THE MOST DIFFICULT OF TIMES
ARTRAVE NEVER STOPPED CREATING, NEVER
STOPPED BEING THE ADVOCATE FOR THE ARTISAN
COMMUNITY. WE ENJOYED OUR FINEST HOUR BACK IN FEBRUARY WHEN WE ADDED ARTRAVE INDOORS IN DUPONT
THEY SAY “BUILD IT & THEY WILL COME”, WE SURE DID SOME 12,000 PATRONS IN THE FIRST MONTH UNTIL ABRUPTLY COMING TO A STOP DUE TO THE HEALTH SITUATION.
PLEASE TO SAY WE ARE MOVING FORWARD WITH RESUMING OUR 2020 SEASON SCHEDULED FOR SAT/SUN & ON JUNE 27, & 28TH RIGHT WITH ANOTHER PRIME LOCATION, ON 2 BLOCKS, 14TH ST. N.W. NEXT TO TRADER JOE’S. OUR GOAL & WORKING WITH GOVERNMENT & CITY OFFICIALS A PLAN OPEN A TOTAL OF 4 VENUES TO PUT 150 ENTREPRENEURS (ARTISANS) BACK IN BUSINESS
NOW, SOMETHING SPECIAL!!
THEY SAY THROUGH ADVERSITY BEGETS OPPORTUNITY & ARTRAVE SURE PUT THAT TO A TEST…WE CREATED A NEW VISION DURING THIS DOWNTIME…& PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE, & PERHAPS THE ONLY OF ITS KIND, THE ARTRAVE 3D. VIRTUAL GALLERY. THE NEXT GENERATION IN HOW ARTISANS IN ALL AREAS CAN EXHIBIT & SELL THEIR WORKS. A VIRTUAL PLATFORM WITH FEATURES THAT GROWS BY THE WEEK IN WHAT IT CAN DO. EVERY ROOM A GREAT & DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE. FIRST THING YOU SEE UPON ENTERING THE LOBBY A ENSEMBLE OF GIFTED ARTISANS & THEMES. FROM FINE ARTS TO FASHION, THEN EXPLORE THE SPECIAL CRAFT ROOM WITH ITS HANDMADE GOODS. YOU LIKE AN ITEM THEN JUST TAP ON IT & SEE IT COME OUT FROM THE WALL WITH ALL THE DETAILS.
BUT WE GO MUCH FURTHER IN ENGAGING THE AUDIENCE. EMBEDDED IN THE VARIOUS GALLERY WALLS, WE DEVELOPED THE TECHNOLOGY TO INCLUDE SUCH FEATURES AS THE ARTRAVE PLAYHOUSE WHERE PERFORMERS CAN PROMOTE THEIR LATEST MUSIC, PLAYS, OR THE READING OF BOOKS & POETRY. WE WILL EVEN SCHEDULE THEIR PERFORMANCES. ON ANOTHER ART WALL U WILL FIND INTERACTIVE PAINT CLASSES INCLUDING SPRAY PAINTING VIDEOS. HOW ABOUT RUNWAY SHOWS, THAT WILL BE FEATURED ON THE FASHION DESIGNERS WALL. SOON TO COME A LASER LIGHT TECH SHOW & IN THE ARCHITECT GALLERY HOW TO BUILD A CITY INTERACTIVE GAMES. SO MUCH MOTION SO MUCH ENGAGEMENT THROUGHOUT. ARTISANS HOW ABOUT THE ABILITY TO SWITCH YOUR WORKS, NO PROBLEM…IN THE SPAN OF 4 WEEKS THIS WAS CREATED ALL THIS, AS INSURANCE, THAT THE ARTISAN COMMUNITY IS ALIVE & WELL & RELEVANT. ONE OF THE BIGGEST ADDITIONS, THE ABILITY TO GO GLOBAL WITH THE INCLUSION OF EUROPEAN ARTISTS, FROM ENGLAND, GERMANY, SPAIN ITALY EVEN SOUTH AMERICA, IN ALL AREAS, & TO BE FOUND IN THE INTERNATIONAL GALLERY ROOM. IN FACT, EVERY ROOM HAS ITS OWN DISTINCTION & ELEGANCE. YOU WILL NOTICE WE ACCENTUATED THESE ROOMS WITH CHANDELIERS & WITH SCULPTURES PLACED ON PEDESTALS. WE ARE 70 % COMPLETE & WILL LAUNCH SOON. NO DOUBT THIS WILL DRAW MEDIA ATTENTION MUCH LIKE SOME OF OUR PAST PROJECTS. WITH ALL THE MARKETING PLATFORMS THAT WILL BE LINKED, WE FEEL WE CAN ATTRACT 100,000 VISITORS IN OUR FIRST 4 MONTHS & THAT’S NOT FACTORING IN THE EUROPEAN MARKET… FOR UPDATES ON ITS LAUNCH GO TO THE TOP OF THE PAGE, CLICK ON CONTACT US, & SAY YOU ARE INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING IN THE VIRTUAL GALLERY.

More about us:
The team at Art Rave is committed to bringing tasteful, economically viable, venues to the DC community. We are facilitators for the arts and fashion community; with previous outdoor venues attracting some few thousands of people throughout the day, and were written up as one of the top east coast staged productions. All the areas businesses from our venues experienced sharp increases in sales as people tend to stay longer and shop at other establishment as well.
Since having enjoyed continued growth & success when our journey began in 2010, 2015 will find an added vibrancy by elevating the fashion and fine arts community using unique “multi venues”, both indoor & outdoor. The only problem you will have is a matter of choice, each has its own distinct flavor.
