Join DC Conspiracy members Andrew Cohen and Eric Gordon March 25 1-3 p.m. for a DIY zine workshop at the Pyramid Atlantic Art Center in Hyattsville, Md. It’s free and open to the public.

Per its Facebook event page: “Anyone can make a zine: all you need is some paper, a writing utensil, copy machine, and a desire to create. Meet the artists from not too high, not too low and learn how to get started designing your very own self-published, no rules art piece. Join DC’s long tradition of DIY, counterculture art! This is a free, walk-in workshop open to all ages and levels of experience!”

Local cartoonist Andrew Cohen was recently hired by the Washington Bach Consort to write and draw "Bach to School," a comic on the composer. The consort is a professional chorus and orchestra that is arguably the nation's premiere baroque orchestra. In addition to performances for adults, the group this season performed two educational plays for free for 2,500 D.C. public elementary school students, who also received a copy of the comic.
