You already know where you'll be on June 13th: At the Arlington Arts Center, catching the opening of She's So Articulate and hob-knobbing with the artists who plan to attend--including Renee Cox, Djakarta, Torkwase Dyson, Nekisha Durrett, Erika Ranee, and Renee Stout.

But let's suppose something kept you from making your way to Arlington--a force field? Debilitating injuries? Irrational fear of people who live in Ballston? Whatever the cause, you could take comfort in this show at DCAC, Kid Mutiny--which features the photography of my good friend Steve Strawn.

As a photographer, Steve started out shooting commercial-looking portraits, cityscapes, and broken glassware. Now he takes pictures of toy robots beating one another up. To which I say: Hooray for artistic development!
