THE PINK LINE Project (www.pinklineproject.com) summoned art lovers from across the city to the Gibson Guitar Showroom across from the Verizon Center in downtown Washington Tuesday evening, Aug. 3 to critique the creations of some of the most well-known DC culture critics. People were invited to judge the creations of familiar Washington culture critics as they competed to make the best art with Legos, Playdoh, Etch a Sketch, finger painting and other fun materials from childhood.

MEDIA CRITICS who participated included Svetlana Legetic of BrightestYoungThings.com, Holly Thomas of The Washington Post, Stephanie Kaye of WAMU Radio, Danielle O'Steen of The Washington Post Express, Ben Eisler of WJLA, Annie Groer from Politics Daily, Maura Judkis of tbd.com and Peter Abrahams from DC Modern Luxury. Danielle O'Steen won the competition using playdoh!

THE EVENT was held in conjunction with the "Art Scouts" exhibit at the Arlington Arts Center (www.arlingtonartscenter.org).
