Mural at Northside Social

I have a mural "Ride" on display in the month of July at Northside Social. It's great to see how the artworks fits in to the space and how patrons are responding to it. Go and check it out! This piece was first shown at the new Arlington Cultural Center Artisphere last October. Now in a tighter setting where a lot of people interact with it, I like it even better. Northside Social is located off the Orange Metro line in Clarendon at 3211 Wilson Blvd Arlington, Virginia 22201. They have great cup cakes, cappuccinos, and an amazing selection of wine. Make sure to ask Alison Christ, General Manager & Sommelier, what their specials are.
