Saturday August 2nd, from 6pm – Midnight

National Harbor, MD, Art Whino announces: Inked Souls: Customized Sneaker and Art Exhibition featuring 35 local, national and international leaders in the Pop Surrealist movement. Each featured artist will customize one pair of AKA Blank Tagür sneakers along with one painting on canvas.

More than ever before, Art Whino pushes the envelope, bringing the DC art world a new and exciting type of art, the art of customization. Each artist was given a pair of blank AKA Tagur sneakers to bring to life with their unique style and perspective. These invited artists bring thirty-five unique styles to the table, which range from urban graffiti to traditional oil on canvas, from abstract to figurative. The range of style and viewpoint contrasted with the with the identical starting point of sneakers promises to deliver an exciting look at the different minds of these talented artists.

This is the first of many customized art shows Art Whino has planned in the near future. You don’t want to miss this one!

The event is FREE and open to the public.

Black Cats Resident DJ Lil'e, aka Erin Myers, specializes in rare extended mixes and one-hit wonders whose names have been swallowed by time. Remember Flesh for Lulu, Kon Kan or Anything Box? But Lil'e does not sacrifice a solid dance floor just to showcase her extensive record collection.

Lil'e, 32, who started "Right Round" in 2002, focuses on skillful mixing, but she still finds a few moments of each song to step back from her mixer and do a little dancing herself. When she plays at other venues such as Felix or Saint-Ex, Lil'e strays far from the '80s, breaking out underground hip-hop, big beat and assorted electronica
