MRTN SWFT is Dead: An Exhibition of His Work 

Saturday, September 26th, 2015 // 5-11pm // rsvp @ FB

Hole in the Sky and the Estate of Martin Swift are pleased to announce the death of Martin Swift at the age of twenty seven. Born March 3rd, 1990 in Takoma Park, Maryland, Martin began drawing and painting at an early age, going on to pursue a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Carnegie Mellon. A burgeoning artist, his life was cut short at the announcement of his death on August 9th, 2015. When questioned, Martin replied "The decision to announce my death was a difficult one, but since then my work as appreciated substantially in value and perceived legitimacy. I believe my passing has been very beneficial to my career, and I look hopefully to a new horizon of posthumous work." Martin is survived by his parents and twin sister.

To commemorate this milestone, join us at Hole in the Sky on Saturday, September 26th to view selections of Swift's oeuvre. Paintings, illustrations and prints will be on display. The night will be a celebration of life. Featuring:

Call + Response IV

Saturday, October 11 // 7-11pm

@ Hole in the Sky | 2110 5th St NE -- 2nd Floor, Washington DC [map]

Folks! Hole in the Sky is pumped to announce that Saturday, October 11 from 7-11pm, we will be hosting an excellent art show: Call + Response IV. Here's what it's all about: Call + Response is an (almost) annual art show in the nation's capital that brings together writers and visual artists. The writers provide the call with an original piece of writing and then visual artists generate a new piece of work in response. The end result being two pieces that resonate with each other. This year, we've added the layer of music that acts as the foundation of the show.Restorations has created an original long-form instrumental track. Next, each of the writers received that music as a starting point for their writing.  Each piece of writing has been paired with a visual artist. All the artists also received the music along with their paired piece of writing to base their original creation.  The opening will take place on October 11, 2014 at Hole in the Sky in northeast D.C. Restorations will perform and each piece of writing will be displayed with their visual response. The ultimate goal has always been about bringing together creative communities. 2014 MUSICIANS Restorations 2014 WRITERS Chris Keener Maud Casey Jen Girdish Kady Ruth Ashcraft Mark Cugini Matt Cohen Mike Scalise Morgan H.
