Kudos to Caramel for showing DC artists

I stopped by Caramel last week to see a photography exhibit by Stirling Elmendorf and Mark Parascandola. Showing art in a non-traditional space - like this clothing boutique - seems like an effective way to expose more people to more art. Can't argue with that. I think Svetlana at Bright Young Things gets it right.

Last Friday, while on our art party jaunt, we stopped by Caramel (on 16th and U) which has made (a commendable) practice of highlighting local artists and photographers within its racks of party dresses.
More people should do that.

See more photos from the event. And, of course, stop by the store and check out the photographs and find some funky and unique, yet affordable, clothes.
