Lately, it seems impossible to have a conversation about the DC's art scene that doesn't eventually lead to art collector and culture promoter, Philippa Hughes, the founder DC's cultural online hub, the Pink Line Project. Fittingly, her 14th Street abode is brimming with the creations of DC artists. Thanks to Washington Spaces, we get a glimpse...
Phillippa Hughes' Colorful, Art-filled Hot Spot in Union Row
Washington Spaces Early Winter 2009
Philippa's vibrant flat spares nothing when it comes to color— perfect inspiration as we bid adieu to fall color month— and as a result, energy seems to pulse from every nook and cranny. Like Philippa herself, her home seems to wear many hats: rotating art gallery, fundraising venue, and creative Pink line Project home-base.
Check out Emily Lyons' full article for Washington Spaces here.

also the art and the colors make the place very vivrant. White DCM chairs are sick.

Very inspiring! That's a lot of art in not such a big space, but she manages to make it feel cohesive, not overwhelming.

Washington, D.C. is the new home for the rich, important people.
Hence, the "artists" go there.
And the rest of us pay for it all.

Uh, Elliott, believe it our not, Washington had both rich, important people, and actual artists (without scare quotes) even back when your buddies were running things. And before that, and before that, and before that.
As for "the rest of us" paying for it all, I'm unclear how, even if true, that would distinguish DC from New York. Or do you only sell your illustrations to the self-made men of Ayn Rand novels?
