Hip Hop Art by Local Youth

We’d like to recognize Raising Expectations, Inc. who hosted a special “Tribute to Hip-Hop” art exhibit this past month.  Local youth who participated in workshops with them learned about hip hop music and artwork before displaying their creations in the Corcoran galley at THEARC.  To greater success, the event was filmed to become a potential commercial spot for Pepco.
