Free Outdoor Letterpress Demonstration

ABCDC by Takoma Park, Md.-based artist Jesse Kirsch was originally created for the National Cherry Blossom Festival’s 2021 public art exhibition, Art In Bloom, and now resides in the small park in front of 1666 Wisconsin Ave NW. Head to Book Hill and take a seat on the sculpture, snap a picture, and tag @noplanpress and @OfficialGeorgetownDC! To get in on the artistic action, join Jesse on Saturday, April 9 from 10 am – 1 pm for a free outdoor letterpress demonstration. Print your own letterpress coaster featuring ABCDC on an antique 1960s printing press.

While you’re in the area, stroll cherry tree-lined gardens and walkways at the 10-acre Dumbarton Oaks estate – one of DC’s best-kept cherry blossom secrets. And don’t miss our annual Book Hill in Bloom promotional event, running now through April 17. More than 15 small businesses on upper Wisconsin Avenue are participating by decorating their storefronts with pink and cherry blossom-themed decorations and offering special promotions.
