After building our DJ education community in Charlotte, Global Lynk is bringing the experience to Washington, DC.

Our Intro to DJ Workshop is a two-hour, hands-on experience for anyone curious about DJing — whether you’ve been thinking about getting behind the decks for years or simply want to try something new.

No experience required. No equipment required. Just come ready to learn, connect and create.

During the workshop, you’ll get hands-on with DJ equipment, learn the fundamentals of mixing and DJ workflow, and hear directly from working DJs about the craft, culture and business behind the decks.

LED BY KING IVEN + JUSJAMZ

You’ll learn, practice and connect with other music lovers and creatives in an environment designed to make DJing approachable, social and fun.

And this is bigger than one workshop.

Global Lynk is building a creative community in DC. This workshop is the beginning of a series of experiences designed to eventually lead into our full multi-week DJ Cohort and ongoing alumni community.

Your first mix might start here.

Random Access Memories

A Collection of Works, 2018–2026

Random Access Memories is a collection of photographs drawn from eight years of lived experience, revisited and transformed through long exposure, cyanotype, and photographic distortion.

Memory does not return to us intact. It fragments, fades, overlaps, and changes each time we access it. A moment once vivid can become distant, while something seemingly insignificant can remain with us for years. To remember is also to forget.

These works approach photography not simply as a means of preserving the past, but as a way of examining what remains of it. Images become traces—figures dissolve, time accumulates, and familiar moments become unfamiliar again.

Like memories themselves, these photographs exist somewhere between document and reconstruction. They preserve evidence of a physical world that has already passed while revealing the invisible, ephemeral world that continues to shape who we become.

The photograph preserves what happened.

Memory preserves what remains.

An intimate, curated experience featuring live performances, creative expression, and community connection.

Discover new artists, engage with different forms of art, and be part of a space designed for real interaction - not just observation.

Join us at the opening reception for Uncut Grass: A Floral Exploration of American Landscapes and the Relationship to Climate Change

About the Exhibit:

A while back, Charity Coleman Harrison stopped mowing a patch of her lawn. Just to see what would happen.

What grew was Philadelphia fleabane. A wildflower she didn't plant and didn't ask for, but immediately admired for its beauty. It just showed up, because she finally got out of the way. That one plant taught her something she hasn't stopped thinking about since: beauty was already there, just underground. It was waiting for her to relinquish control and leave it alone.

That philosophy became the whole point of this show.

Over the past year, Charity has been digging deeper into Maryland ecology and plant life—as a painter, someone training to be a Master Gardener, and a foodscape designer. The more time she spends with plants, the more she believes they're not just scenery. They respond. They adapt. They endure. Over time, she's come to see plants as conscious beings, and believes there's a lot to learn from them — the same way we learn from each other.

Uncut Grass is Charity's effort to paint that. These pieces ask what happens when we stop intervening. When a lawn becomes a habitat instead of a chore. When a "weed" becomes a wildflower. When free flowers become food for bees, just because nobody pulled them out. It costs nothing to let it happen, and it gives so much back. Less lawn. More life.

Eunoia Cinema House Presents SCREENLIGHT: a bi-monthly screening showcasing independent films made by DMV based filmmakers. 

Screenlight: Akin to when a studio picks up a film and it is given the green light, when a film is selected to be screened, it is given the SCREENLIGHT.

Chasing Light is a photography exhibition by Phillip Anthony exploring portraiture, culture, memory, and human connection through cinematic storytelling. Focused on emotion and atmosphere, the work captures meaningful moments shaped by light, shadow, and presence.

Inspired by everyday life, spirituality, and personal experience, the exhibition invites viewers into an intimate, timeless space. Each photograph reflects emotion, identity, and the quiet beauty of ordinary moments.

Through immersive imagery, Chasing Light encourages reflection, connection, and appreciation for the power of photography.

Join Back to Black every Friday for Sip Black & Relax.

A coffee shop within an art gallery is the perfect backdrop to start your weekend, co-work, vibe, delight, unwind, and of course… enjoy good coffee (with good people).

“We the People” are the first words of the Constitution, but we know those words were never meant to include us. Not the people who built this country from the ground up, both literally and figuratively. Not the people whose lives were stolen, who were taken from their homelands and forced into a system that sought to use and erase them.

We are the people who have shaped and defined what is known as “American culture,” even as our contributions get overlooked, minimized, or claimed by others. This exhibition challenges that systemic narrative. It reclaims the meaning of Black culture by presenting it in its fullness, beyond stereotypes, beyond what is packaged for consumption on screens.

This is about Black American culture in its truth, its depth, and its everyday reality.

Because We Are The People. 

Join Back to Black this Friday for a special Juneteenth Sip Black & Relax.

Always open is a group exhibition by ten artists working out of 3711 Studios, united by a single constraint: each artwork must incorporate the same shared color. Inspired by the studio’s playful branding and visual language, the exhibition treats color not as a limitation, but as a point of connection. Across painting, graphic design, and mixed media, one hue becomes a vibrant study in individuality within community. Like a convenience store that never truly closes, 3711 Studios is shaped by artists working at all hours. Some arriving early, others late, making the studio a constantly open site of exchange and creation.

Though each artist approaches the color differently, together the works form a cohesive visual experience that reflects the collaborative spirit of a shared studio practice: Ten voices, one frequency.
