If people are looking for a peaceful place right here in DC... take a visit to Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens ... no need to muck up Poplar Point (across the Anacostia from Nats Park) with a new-agey theme park.

Escape the crowds at the Tidal Basin and have a picnic under the delicate pink flowers of the cherry blossom trees that are blooming here at #KenilworthAquaticGardens! Peak bloom is projected to be March 28-31, so mark your calendars. 🌸

Spring-like morning meeting with our partner, @KenAqGardens! We’re collaborating to bring to life the work of Down to Earth’s selected artists—Billy Friebele and Andrew Kastner, who are examining the rich ecosystem above and below the water’s surface.

This is heartbreaking news: I’ve been seeing movies here for 15+ years. I even proposed here! D.C. needs E Street.

Who can step up to save this place? It’s still packed regularly, even for screenings of old movies. Doesn’t the city need institutions like this downtown?

Unless you've climbed up the stairs of an abandoned building to see a play or watched a band, have you ever really lived? That was the magic of @CapitalFringe

After two decades and hundreds of shows across the District, the Capital Fringe Festival is coming to a close.

A beloved outlet for aspiring artists since 2005, Fringe Festival was facing higher costs and fewer opportunities for DIY projects. https://t.co/HbSnq66bbo

After 20 years, Capital Fringe is ending its annual festival, known for spotlighting experimental and offbeat theater. But all is not lost: The nonprofit will continue to support local artists with an annual cash award. https://t.co/tfNQ5EdV63

Our tidal river, the Anacostia every six hours or so what goes down will come back up! Siobhan Rigg, Down to Earth Artist Summer 2021. https://t.co/zJ9XtKNXAX
This is a step forward!

NEW: We are suing the federal government for polluting the Anacostia River for 150+ years.

The US government has treated the Anacostia River as its dumping ground for toxic waste and chemicals.

We are fighting to hold it accountable to clean the devastating pollution it caused.
