Very colorful and pretty place but surroundings were not managed well.

Stopped by to take some photos. This place is fantastic. Would love to see some live music here...as I am sure the venue would be amazing for a great band. Definatly a must see for the artsy fartsy type.

Great historic building that still stands today

We took our family here for the hip hop pop up museum and it was a lot of fun. The kids loved learning about the history of hip hop and seeing the memorabilia from the various eras.

This is a great spot to view art. You may even be able to host parties. I attended for a birthday party #GGGF

This space is incredible. Definitely a hidden gem in DC.

A hidden gem, truly unique spot in Southwest DC. Id love to check out their events!

Terrific exhibits from Heidi and Michael. I had nice convos with them. The space is just amazing. It has to be seen to be believed

This is one of the premier art enclaves in D.C. The newest collection features a dad capturing pictures of his son in a space suit in numerous different scenarios to illustrate the exploration and continuous discovery of children. From the evanescent colors adorning the building to the awesome and kind people who run the spot, this is a must see for D.C.

Went by here and I love the preservation of this space. It has recently changed name but the atmosphere and ambiance remains the same. I love how as a vendor you are able to curate your own space and make it your own for the time there. I love the funky design and painting of the building. This place can transition to whatever you mind can imagine. It is a creatives mind dream space.

It was a pop up Hip Hop Museum. I enjoyed the scenery . Just wanted more local artists.

Definitely worth checking out next time you’re nearby and looking for something to do on a weekend. Blind Whino seems to be in its infancy so this rating is more reflective of what I think this venue will become as opposed to what it is now.

Coolest hidden gem in town

Very cool! Is an old church that they have converted into an art gallery. On the main level they display art and on the upper level there is a stage where they host concerts in weddings. All of the walls are painted from different artists. Very unique and very old. Definitely a place to check out.

Great spot to view art.

Whats to love: a church is now an art gallery! Convert the churches, all of them. Whats to not love so much: the misuse of a performing space.

Event was nice but facilities could be easier to navigate with better signage.

I went to the hip hop museum pop up exhibit here. Liked what it had to offer.

Its a beautiful building and the people who runs it was very nice 2 thumbs up

This place is breathtaking, unique, and inspiring. The artwork that covers all the walls is stunning. This place is alive - both with art in bold, psychedelic colors that covers the walls and from the passion of the people that maintain this space. When I went, there were people working in the garden, cool music playing in the main room on the first floor (courtesy of the lovely Lisette), and an amazing art exhibit showcasing Ethiopian tribes with body paint in the gallery. (Also, the air conditioning felt effective.)

It is one of the best part of Southwest. It hosts a series different event. Colorful and amazing from inside out. The murals throughout this hidden gem will wow you. Great place to experience for so many reasons.

Went to the hip hop museum. Dress warmly, its cold no heat. Its a nice display of hip hop artists from the 80s and 90s. However theres supposed to be a DJ when it opens at 12noo. We left at 1:30pm still no DJ. And the DJ is also the cashier if you want to buy souvenirs. So not cool no Hip Hop Music to enjoy with my viewing

The Hip Hop Museum is Dope!

Went to a listening party here and aesthetically it’s very nice. However, the HVAC needs work. It was so hot in there during the party. There also needs to be signs for restrooms. Overall tho a gem in DC

Awesome place to visit, lots of community engagement. They really need to watch the base level, though, during all the private parties they host, omg.

I’ve collaborated with this venue for a few events and I’m never ever disappointed. The staff is amazing and the building is definitely historically retro but that’s the beauty of the place.BW is definitely a great spot to host a variety of events and the atmosphere is artsy enough to accommodate a brunch/party or a work happy hour.It’s definitely a DC spot, meaning if you can uber, you’d be better off as far as parking is concerned.

Neat space in a quirky way. Indoor and outdoor space available to rent. Artwork on display.

Hip hop pop-up shop was amazing. Intimate, yet powerful. Interactive with the turntable and the experience of digging through the crates was truly a pleasure. A must visit for any hip hop aficionado.

Very great use of space for the event attended with efficient support staff!

Very cool, glad to be around young black innovators. The vibe was laid back and welcoming. Its a small space but a its worked beautifully ! Kudos to the owners and everyone making it great

The vibe of this venue is soooo cool! The artwork (currently, very creative 80s pieces by Shawn Mitchell Perkins) is phenomenal and the space is funky. If you havent visited, you are missing a DC gem!

A true community center to bring DC together and inspire conversation, fun and Culture (in a House). Plus the art they curate is fire. ;)

Waste of time. I thought it was a great touristy spot. But nothing to see. The building is old and worn out. Wasnt allowed entry into the building.

Strange place......old world venue for todays art exhibit s. Needs a lot of work to be a better exhibit hall.

It’s beautiful place to get your instagram pictures front of and its nice area

Plenty of parking if you have an event here

Great experience, great art, great community. Amazing way to push the culture forward.

Art space venue great vibe and atmosphere

Beautiful

Glad I caught it when I did. Blind Whino is such a quirky, cool, hipster type spot so it was perfect location for the pop up HipHop Museum. Wish it was a permanent install here in the city but happy to have had it while it lasted

Nice, but kinda out of the way and smaller than youd like for the trip

Very cool external shots. Be aware, this location is popular for inconsiderate point-and-shoot photographers. This means you will have people walking in and out of your shot constantly, so you will have to be patient. This shot was stitched together on my phone from there lot. Also, no photos are permitted inside, where there is an open gallery normally.

Came here for a poetry reading, was a great set up and show! They even had a live band that was a great touch

Amazing venue! They had a great exhibit featuring photos from Ethiopia. I loved getting to explore. Definitely a must-see stop while in DC.

Came here for the hip hop art museum and it was really a great venue. Theres plenty of space and a sizeable lot.

Beautiful venue, unique exhibits. Recently attended the launch party for The Hip Hop Museum - created by Listen Vision studios (WLVS) and it was so tastefully curated with incredible artifacts and memorabilia. Not to mention the dancefloors and bar. 11/10 would return

Nice place I would recommend this place

Tie-dye church transformed to innovative artsy museum with featuring a hip hop pop-up museum exhibit starting from Jan 2019 (not sure when it ends).In a cozy room, the exhibit encapsulates hip hop artists of the 90s - Notorious BIG, Eminem, Wu-Tang, Snoop Dog, and Tupac, OutKast, etc. with customized display cases featuring memorabilia - records, sneakers, jerseys, shirts, jackets, bobble head dolls/figurines, newspaper articles. The autographed collection of mics was pretty impressive and my favorite item along with the Death Records chair!There was a DJ Sat afternoon spinning records and a speaker in the room next door. Theres also a large event space upstairs with beautiful murals.As the space is cozy, 45 min is more than enough time to comfortably walk through the exhibit and take pics. Theres a small parking lot behind the church and some vibrant murals on surrounding buildings.Although the area is a bit grungy around the outskirts of DC, its a gem and definitely worth checking out!

Fun venue, chilly!!! Dress warmly. Very hip and urban. Very DC arts scene.

The varied pop up art shows and demos that frequent this venue are mad cool. Always a good time.

It is a cool building with interesting exhibits but, in agreement with other reviews, the AC seemed to not be working and boy, was it not in there. The space is small but well set up. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

Great outside artwork but was Closed

Pop up hip hop museum and qss s quaint and cool. The artwork on the walls upstairs was amazing great space.

An awsome place with a very cool vibe.

Such a great place love it everytime I come there, really enjoyed the HIP HOP EXHIBIT that is there now!!!

Fantastic building and exhibition.

Love the vibe here - a quirky and energetic place with fresh ideas. When I visited, they were showcasing art by women. It was curated really well. This is probably my favourite place in DC. What a gem!

Not for the faint of heart. Radical even by Washington standards. Reminds me of San Francisco during the hippie invasion of the 60s

Dope church-turned-museum! You’ll want this burst of color on your IG.

Cool little place for art

Wifes holiday party was held here. Good time and great place for the party.

Went there for a Art show & the work was very nice.

Cool space, cool performances

A great addition to Southwest. This is an unique art venue in Washington D.C. I love how this old church has been reborn into something amazing. If you are an art lover this a great palce to come to. The outside of the church is painted multicolored and the inside of the church has fantastic paintings. The inside is beautifully decorated and is great for small to large events. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

Wu-Tang exhibit was great. Nice spaces if your looking for a venue to rent out. Shawn always has awesome art events. Check out Art Whino in National Harbor as well.

I was there yesterday to receive Toys for Tots theyre from what I seen the place is pretty nice

One of kind location with incredible events weekly

Went to The DCist event here. Great unique venue!

Its still in its early stages, the building is still being renovated. So far, theres only a limited number of art works on display. Overall, the vibrant colour of the building seems to be catching attention than the art work displayed in the gallery.

Fun space

Enjoyable popup museum on hip hops history.

Amazing place for events! Loved Blind Whino!

Very nice space. I would definitely consider renting out this a space for a mid size event. There is outdoor space too.

Awesome hidden gem! Great shows and really support the community.

A good size space for large events.

The hip hop exhibit was fun and nicely done

Loved the atmosphere.

Saw an amazing exhibit, took some cool photos near the graffiti wall and met Tabi Bonney.

Went for a wedding reception. Great venue and cool staff. The upstairs chapel room was well done and great for large parties.

Whimsical event space, beautifully decorated inside & out. Parking can be tough.

Stop by the hip hop museum, its pretty interesting

Unique place to hold events when ts not used for art exhibition.

Free entrance. Its a must go especially if you like taking pictures for your Instagram account. At the entrance, security asks if you have a DSLR camera; I assume its either not allowed or theres a fee for it. Phone camera is perfectly fine.

Blind Whino exists to show the world DC is a creative city expanding beyond the bureaucracy of the government. If anyone doubts the quirkiness of DC, head to Waterfront and find the technicolor church. Venture inside to find one of DCs most unique event spaces/art galleries. They rotate art galleries and they pick very local exhibits that represent DC. For example, one exhibit they displayed was a series of photos of a dad and son photographing DC spots wearing an space costume. It;s free to get in and quite the experience!

Fun art to check out. Good food and beer! Nice place to stop by for a walk around the neighborhood.

Fun event space. Great relaunch party for DCist.

This is a fantastic venue! Super cool inside and out. Its amazing what the community has created here.

Loved this vibrant place! When I visited this place, it was empty and the person there let us wander around inside. There was not a single wall that was left untouched!

Great Venue with a lot of different and Awesome events.

Cool place but man oh man... the heat was insufferable... guys please install an AC. I thought I’d die in there.

I dont know what it is. Big ugly building. Probably has some kind of use... 2 stars.

Only went during the day for the free art. Very interesting independent pieces and I love the technicolor church. Staff was very friendly and informative.

Beautiful space!!

I absolutely LOVE this space. Its perfect for a party, provate dinner, and yoga!

Awesome place. Andrew Katz HIP-HOP exhibit is a beast!!

Only saw the outside which is painted so beautifully!

Dope event venue. Excellent acoustics

Cool venue inside and out. Got to see the some work from Small Steps are Giant Leaps, and it was great!

Place is ok but the upkeep is below standard. Needs to get a thorough cleaning, lots and lots of dust.

Great venue to view some of the best artwork in the city as well as throw events
