our own Darien Reece from Smith Farm Center

Darien was one of 25 artists participating in this project (and one of only two artists to create two paintings). The DC Commission on the Arts invited artists to create murals for the boarded up windows at the historic Eastern Market building during the renovation.Installation photo of Night Guardian II and depicts a winged spirit who guards the sleeping city.

Read all about Anne Marchand's great project at Eastern Market on her blog here. Needless to say we at Smith Farm Center are incredibly proud of Darien!

Dedication Ceremony today at 1. Eastern Market 7th St. North Carolina Ave. S.E. Washington, D.C.
