The annual Art All Night Festival in Washington, D.C. is a celebration of local talent and artistry. It also discusses the efforts of a group of District mothers who are advocating for the expansion of guaranteed basic income and the child income tax credit, as well as the abolishment of a benefits cliff that affects access to rent and food subsidies. The mothers recently shared their stories and engaged with council members at the John A. Wilson Building. The article also touches on topics such as violence interrupter programs, solitary confinement in D.C. jails, and the need for stronger protections for families receiving child tax credits and guaranteed basic incomes. The festival, taking place on September 27 and 28, aims to showcase diverse talent across all eight wards of the city, with a focus on engaging and inspiring guests in Wards 7 and 8 and highlighting the rich history and culture of these areas. The event is a collaboration between various organizations and aims to promote the local arts scene and drive economic development, with each ward having its own unique themes and installations that emphasize the intersection of art and technology.
