Call for Art, Artists and Artisans for the AVON Walk Washington, DC


The Howard Ave. Arts Incubator is forming a team of artists, artisans, and friends to participate in the April 30th to May 1st Washington, DC AVON Walk for Breast Cancer. The Incubator is a new collaborative arts center in Kensington, MD which nurtures the artistic and professional growth of artists to enhance the greater Maryland community.

The Incubator is partnering with its neighbor Anytime Fitness Kensington to invite and train walkers for the team. The Incubator hopes to help walkers reach their fundraising goals with proceeds raised during a “Walking Wearables” show on Sat. April 23rd in the Incubator gallery featuring sales and auctions of donated and member artwork. Breast cancer-related themed and wearable works are being accepted at the Incubator now.

Anytime Fitness Kensington created a special Arts Extreme Walker 67% savings value package to get our team members moving: a 2-month temporary membership and 3 personal training sessions for $99. Package members can hit the treadmills at any hour just a few doors down from the Incubator, and increase their overall health and walking-related synergies with the safety and motivational expertise of Kensington’s finest personal trainers. The partners will also organize historic walks along Howard Ave. and other points of interest in Kensington.

For more information, please contact Joy Parisi, Assistant Director of the Howard Ave. Arts Incubator, at 301/897-4152 or joyartincubator@gmail.com. Please also visit the AVON website at www.avonwalk.org/washington-dc, or the Anytime Fitness site at www.kensingtonfitness.com.
