At Artomatic 2017 through May 6, See DJ Choupin’s Photos and Interact with the Set, Props, and Music from A Roadkill Opera

Artomatic 2017 was thronged with crowds of art enthusiasts on opening night, March 24. Many attended the live performances. Many came to see the fine arts in the largest unjuried show in the Washington DC area.  And then there were the opportunities to experience the unexpected, which seems to be a specialty of Artomatic.
