Second Saturday in April marks the end of Washington, DC’s annual Cherry Blossom Festival honoring the gift of the magnificent cherry trees from Japan in 1912. To begin the day’s festivities Evolve is offering a sushi-making class from NOON to 3PM. The sushi making class is free for Evolve residents and $5 for non-residents. The class is limited to 20 participants on a first come, first served basis. Most cooking classes of this nature charge up to $75 per person. In other classes, participants take the class and then eat all the food they have learned to prepare. This class will be a bit different, participants will learn the art of sushi making and have a chance to sample each of the items and the food being prepared by the class will be served at the opening reception later that same day from 4-8PM. (To sign up for the sushi class please call (202) 359.7368 or e-mail chris@evolveLLC.com.)

From 4:00 – 8:00PM Evolve will open the doors to the gallery so that visitors can view works by this month’s featured artists, Liang Wei and Marta Sewell. Liang Wei will be performing a live ink painting demonstration on the second floor of the gallery and special Guest Robin Buck, a certified; Feng Shui expert will be providing an optional 20 minute live demonstration / lecture on the art of Feng Shui every half hour (4:30; 5:30 and 6:30PM). What is Feng Shui (pronounced fung schway)? Feng Shui evolved from the theory that people are affected for better or worse by their surroundings. Feng Shui is the ancient Japanese art of manipulating and arranging your surroundings to attract positive life energy, or chi, so that it flows smoothly, unblocking any obstructions in your body and environment. We look forward to seeing you at this exciting event!
