The Sewall House has stood strong on Capitol Hill for over two hundred years. Early occupants of the house participated in the formulation of Congress and witnessed the construction of the US Capitol and the Supreme Court. In 1929, the National Woman’s Party (NWP) purchased the house, and it soon evolved into a center for feminist education and social change. For over sixty years, the trail-blazing NWP utilized the strategic location of the house to lobby for women’s political, social, and economic equality.Today, the Sewall-Belmont House & Museum tells the compelling story of a community of women who dedicated their lives to the fight for women’s rights. The innovative tactics and strategies these women devised became the blueprint for women’s progress throughout the twentieth century. The Museum exhibits highlight the tactics and strategies used during the 20th century women’s rights movement. Artifacts from the NWP collection bring the story to life. Public Programs showcase the Museum’s commitment to continuing conversations on women’s progress while examining the ongoing national and international quest for women’s equality.The site was dedicated as a National Historic Landmark for its significance to the history of the United States. « less

We supply everything you need to create an original work of art, including art materials, paints, canvas and tips, guidance and encouragement from roving art-trained Creative Enablers. ArtJamz launched in March 2010 as a roving pop-up paint party hosted in various venues around the Washington DC metro area. The concept caught on, so we opened our first retail location, the ArtJamz Dupont Studio, in March 2012. After one-year, we've outgrew that, and doubled our space and moved to our current location in Dupont in March 2013. ArtJamz is open 7 days a week, and you can make reservations or just walk-in anytime during business hours. Like a restaurant, you order at the beginning of your session and pay when you finish. « less
