Phew! I made it to Artomatic 2024 on the very last day the festival was open (and I'm so glad I did!). 8 floors of art tucked into EVERY nook and cranny of a vacant office building at 2100 M Street. Artomatic is an unjuried arts festival, meaning that any artist is welcome to participate. All of the art is for sale and the festival is free and open to the public. I wanted to share a couple of the artists and artworks that caught my eye, although this is by no means a comprehensive review. There was just so much to see. Time to fasten your seatbelts, start scrolling, and get inspired!
