Artists - Bar meet up, coffee, picnic, tree climbing, high fiving?

Dear DC Reddit,

I'm currently a (super) senior at my school for Illustration and Design and I'm in the area this summer for an internship. A lot of my friends and fellow classmates have either moved or are still at school so I'm yearning to get to know other local artists, maybe share portfolio links, favorite artists, movies, books, hobbies, travel experiences, favorite cartoon characters, etc. I figured a good way to do this is to post on here and propose some social type of meet up (I'm new to Reddit and missed the Global Meet-Up day - go me).

I would not limit this to just artists! Anyone interested in these sort of things can be involved.

I think Art Jamz in Dupont has walk-in painting for $10 an hour so that could be a cool place to start! Otherwise, I'm open to anything if people are willing to pull together and make this sort of thing happen.

Sincerely, Richmond Art student
