D.C.’S CREATIVE PLAYGROUND. The past eight months have been a constant whirlwind of packed print issues, thriving digital content, thoughtfully curated experiences and successful events bringing our community together. We are hungry for connection, eager to hustle and have no signs of slowing down any time soon.

Our August issue combines the themes of “Back to School” and “How We Work + Play” to create a through line: “D.C.’s Creative Playground.” This month, we are focused on how the city with the most hustle is filled with talented locals who’ve found a way to either turn their passion into their profession or balance doing what they love with what pays the bills in the most impressive of ways.

The takeaway? This is the year of the multihyphenate. We are all carving out our own niche and discovering new ways to collaborate, and we’re still having fun while doing it. Our cover concept says it all: Where else would a muralist, runner by day and DJ by night, and digital marketer-meets-foodie all be in their element at the exact same moment?

We hope you enjoy delving into this issue to read about all the ways D.C. is a rapidly growing force to be reckoned with, and home to endless experiences and an insane amount of talent.
