The Washington Informer Bridge successfully launched its first “Creative Salon” series on Feb. 9.

Before entering and filling the flora- and fauna-covered doors and walls, many guests were excited to find out exactly what the creative salon was about. After entering the lowkey “Alice in Wonderland” inspired Alice on U Street NW, guests did not know their next steps. However, after stepping into the salon space, attendees were invited to enjoy a discourse about building and supporting creativity in the DMV area.

The panel was hosted by Washington Informer Managing Editor Micha P. Green.
