ABOUT BLOOMBARS

Don't be surprised if you haven't caught word. BloomBars is Columbia Heights' new decidedly underground, spontaneous and inspirational space for local and global art, music and film you haven't seen or heard. It's raw. It's organic, and slowly rising from a seed—offering an opportunity for early guests to say, "I watched it grow when it looked like it might be a weed." It won't be, but it will be hot! No really, we have heat now. And did we mention that it's free? Well, it'd be nice if you threw in a $5 donation to keep the lights on. And don't be fooled by the "Bars". If you want a drink, go to Wonderland, if you want to be served an invitation to interact with your neighbors, and possibly encouraged to give them a hug, well, you're in the right place. If you've ever let art spark an interest in a social justice cause or organization, this is definitely your space. Look at the photos and videos and you'll see you're not just watching our Bloom, you're seeing a window into the future. Our future. Your future. We mean it. You Bloom. We Bloom.
