V2 is an initiative of the Capitol Hill Arts District, managed by Velocity Dance Center, in partnership with One Reel. It is a temporary collaborative arts space in Capitol Hill’s old Value Village, providing 30,000 square feet of arts space for community rental for artists and art organizations, as well as a gathering place for events, exhibitions, rehearsals, artist residencies, performances and community forums. Sadly, V2 will come to a close at the end of December. All are invited back to the closing party on December 10th to celebrate again these exhibitions and V2 itself.
