Wanna Play?

Our initial offering, the 2007 Holiday Events & Shopping Guide, was created out of a desire  to enable a group of culturally based institutions and businesses to cooperatively promote their events and business offerings.

In the summer of 2007 we were asked by a group of Washington DC based businesses to organize the design of a flyer promoting their upcoming events that was to be distributed at the annual Black Family Reunion Celebration during the weekend of September 8-9. We asked Sala Damali of Kuumba Kollectibles to create the design while we collected the information from the nine participants.

While doing the flyer project, we decided to create a tri-fold brochure that would have a more controlled distribution and greater design presence, as well. Hence the Events & Shopping Guide concept was born to serve cultural institutions in the greater  Washington, DC / Baltimore, MD region.

The design of the brochure places eight events in the center panels and spaces for nineteen business card ads on the cover and side panels.  5,000 copies of the guide are produced and  are available at the locations of the participants and other business locations.  A copies  can be downloaded as well however we recommend you patronize our businesses.

The next issue of the guide will be entitled Be Mo Jazz Guide and we invite you to participate by purchasing a business card or events listing ad. The deadline for registering is May 10, 2008.
