DC CHEER! is an a community-building art project by Kristina Bilonick.
Derived from an open call DC Cheer! is a squad made up of artists and art enthusiasts. We are working together to create cheers that boost the morale of the DC art scene – celebrating artists, galleries, collectors and arts organizations that choose to make DC their home. (more after the jump…)
Building and creating a supportive creative community is an integral part of keeping artists in the DC area. With nearby draws such as affordable studio spaces in Baltimore and Philadelphia, or the allure of New York City, it is important to nurture the connection that exists amongst the artists, curators, gallery owners and collectors here, and let them know their presence is appreciated.
We will have our debut performance during the opening night festivities of the (e)merge Art Fair, at Capital Skyline Hotel in SW DC on Thursday, September 22nd. After (e)merge, Bilonick hopes to grow the team and travel to other art events in DC and elsewhere to ‘represent’ for the ‘home team’. Stay tuned to this site for info on upcoming events, performances, and opportunities to join the squad!
