Loft Party @ Lofts 11

The View!!

Lofts 11, a relatively new luxury loft complex in downtown D.C. has partnered up with regional artists to bring a crowd to their lavish model apartment. For one night, artists get to play host to a fabulous crowd, and have all their friends over to a dream apartment with a killer view, furnished with modern designs and contemporary artwork....all of which would normally be out of budget. The whole arrangement makes for a great evening, friends, semi-casual setting, art, food, dreams of a a job that might support this lifestyle...it doesn't get much better.
