The art work is in a range of media, including oil and watercolor paintings, prints, sculpture and photography. Participating artist Sidney Lawrence—whose archival digital print of a thin-line ink drawing of a D.C. cityscape is on display at the Georgetown Library—told Patch it is "no surprise" that so many artists call Georgetown home in one way or another.

The Citizens Association of Georgetown is seeking Georgetown-based artists to participate in a show of artwork in February.
Letters detail the efforts of Ward 2 Councilman Jack Evans and neighborhood organizations to influence the General Services Administration.
As time ticks down to the General Services Administration (GSA) auction of the West Heating Plant later this fall, Georgetown civic groups and Ward 2 Councilman Jack Evans are lobbying for zoning restrictions and possibly a set-aside of park land on the federally-owned property. The West Heating Plant is a surplus federal property at 29th and K Streets, NW adjacent to Rock Creek Park and the C&O Canal. The property is not zoned, though GSA recently assumed in its draft Environmental Asessment (EA) that a W-2 mixed-use zoning would be most likely. In that document, the agency estimated that a future developer might expect to include 181 new residential units and as much as 181,210 square feet of commercial and retail space on the site. In a…

Mayor Vincent Gray praised CAG award-winner Ron Lewis for his role in the campus plan discussions
Mayor Vincent Gray hinted at a possible solution to the ongoing Georgetown University Campus Plan negotiations during the Citizens Association of Georgetown (CAG) annual meeting Wednesday. Gray was on-hand to recognize CAG's four award winners Wednesday and offered particular praise for Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner Ron Lewis. Lewis was honored with the Belin Award for distinguished service to the Georgetown community. "Last night we talked and [Lewis] said, 'I think we may be able to find a solution to this.' What a great victory that would be for everybody if everybody could come together and find a way to solve this issue with the campus plan," remarked Gray. The Mayor also congratulated the university for "continuing the effort." …

Betsy Emes runs Trees for Georgetown as part of the Citizens Association of Georgetown.
It started with offering up her home for a fundraiser for Trees for Georgetown, years later Betsy Emes has become so involved in the well-being, care and advocacy on behalf of Georgetown's trees that she has been called (in a good way) a "tree Nazi." The better description might be tree advocate. For Emes trees are a part of her every day; she says she cannot help but notice them and catalog them as she walks her dogs or strolls along the Georgetown streets near her home. As we walked along several streets in Georgetown's West Village she pointed out the various trees that Trees for Georgetown had planted in recent years. Some, like those on the 3400 block of Dent Pl., she very proudly pointed to like a parent pleased with the success of …

Spring nears again and it is important to note that the street trees that scorched the least (or survived at all) in the heat of the last few summers were those that received plenty of water. The best way to ensure that a street tree gets watered on a regular basis seems to be by planting thirsty annuals in the tree boxes. The idea that they plants will steal all of the water and nutrients make … more ›
Citizens Association of Georgetown President, Jennifer Altemus, was at the center of the plot!
Georgetowners came out to support the Citizens Association of Georgetown's Concerts in the Park Saturday night. The evening of mystery centered around a heist from the TD Bank's vault. The suspects for the evening were Jennifer Altemus, Nancy Taylor-Bubes, Topher Mathews, Carol Joynt, Jack and Michelle Evans, and John and Kristen Lever. In the end we learned that Jennifer Altemus was at the center of heist; she was trying to snag the Katherine Sable print for Mayor Vincent Gray. The fundraiser will support CAG's three free summer concerts in this, the 10th annual year for the favorite community event.

As an attendee of the meeting, I was disappointed that Georgetown citizens did not have a chance to ask questions and express their views. Many of my fellow Georgetown residents have expressed their dismay at the continuing loss of desirable stores in our neighborhood as well as the increase of "fly-by-night" clothing and shoe stores that by enlarge we do not patronize. The proposed replacement … more ›

Sorry Michael, if you wanted green space for a "soccerplex" you probably should've moved to NoVa or Maryland. This heating plant is in the middle of a dense urban environment and would cost the city millions to develop as a soccerplex in addition to the millions lost over the course of the soccerplex's existence on maintenance and lost tax revenue. Georgetown is literally surrounding on all sides… more ›
