There was some discussion over the summer about museums and other
attractions working together on promotional efforts, and I wanted to share
one that has just started here in DC. There are currently fifty museums and
cultural organizations involved.

Blues & Dreams:  Celebrating the African-American Experience in Washington,
DC
From September 15 through November 30, 2003, Washington, DC will pay tribute
to the African-American experience in our nation's capital through art,
dance, music, theatre, history and literature. In connection with the
highly-anticipated exhibition "The Art of Romare Bearden" at the National
Gallery of Art and "African-American Quilts from the Robert and Helen Cargo
Collection" exhibition at The Textile Museum, dozens of cultural
organizations are presenting special programming including exhibitions and
lecture series, customized walking tours and concerts, dance and theatre
performances. Area hotels and restaurants are offering special travel
packages and menus. For more information, visit www.bluesanddreams.com.
