For the first time ever, the Thai embassy is hosting a festival at the National Mall to celebrate the 190th anniversary of Thailand-US diplomatic relations.
Organizers say it's the largest Thai festival in the country and is a late celebration of the Thai New Year that took place in April. It's also a nod to Asian-American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month.
This week’s Arts Briefs include new concert series, a Thai New Year’s celebration and updates from the arts community. Also in Absolute Bleeding Edge: a multimedia project about beds, and the lack of them.
