Rubbish Art
May 28th, 2010
Two times a year, artists in the neighborhoods between Dupont Circle and Logan Circle throw open their studios and invite visitors in. The program’s called ‘Mid City Artists’ or ‘MCA’ and is a chance for city-dwellers to see where and how the artistic magic happens, right on their doorstep. I’ve chosen to have a nosey around Chuck Baxter’s studio today, so without further ado, let’s step on inside.
Check out this week’s video blog. And special thanks to Chuck Baxter and the Mid City Artists.

I think you mean rubbish, don’t you?
OK, silly me. It was spelled ‘rubish’ in my e-mail link but is spelled correctly here. Carry on!
I’ll take the blame for the mispelling. It was my groggy-eyed mistake. Never agin.
