Kennedy Center to Help Arts Programs in Economic Trouble
From the Washington Post -
The next act in Michael M. Kaiser's quest to make all arts organizations smart and healthy is about to begin.
After a string of successes rescuing arts groups from near-death, Kaiser is now enlisting Kennedy Center managers to help nonprofit arts organizations that are reeling from the recession.
"Arts in Crisis: A Kennedy Center Initiative" was announced this morning. Essentially, the program is a high-tech support service through which arts administrators can talk to the center's personnel about shrinking income, budget-conscious audiences and other difficulties in keeping the doors open.

N. Capitol St. Fire House for Sale
The Fire House at 1626 North Capitol St. NW is for sale - listed at $1.5M.
Recent plans included a restaurant by the folks behind St. Ex and a sound stage for XM radio. And then another restaurant operator from Ohio was scheduled to come in to run the restaurant.
It would make a great art space. I toured the building back in 2007 and it needed a lot of work, but it has good bones and will make for a cool finished space.
