Shane Pomojambo worked in art in Washington, D.C. for years, but he wanted to do more than own a gallery - he wanted to build an artist community. So he started Blind Whino, a non-profit and event space geared toward cultural community service for the arts. And it started with a church’s incredible transformation.
“The building we have here in Blind Whino is 140 years old,” says Pmojambo as he gives The Daily Beast a tour. “It was abandoned for about 13 years and in disarray. By painting the building and making it a wonderful piece of art, it’s really become a destination.”
