Experience the heart of Friendship Heights! The Sunday Commons Market is a weekly gathering where neighbors can come together over delicious food, engaging activities, and live performances. 

Start your Sunday morning with freshly prepared foods, artisanal baked goods, farm-fresh produce, and beautiful flowers from local vendors while enjoying live performances from talented musicians and artists. Join us for Sunday Commons every Sunday from August 30 - November 22, at the 5200 block of Wisconsin Ave NW for a day of community, flavor, and fun.

Sunday Commons: Sunday, September 6 at 10am - 2pm

Collage Workshop: Sunday, September 6 at 10am - 12pm

Enjoy DJ Beats by DJ Duchess from 10am-1pm plus a collage making workshop by Khadija Jahmila from 10am-12pm. All supplies will be provided for participants. RSVP required for the workshop.

RSVP HERE!

In this hands-on collage workshop, participants are invited to explore the creative possibilities of cut and torn paper. Through layering images, textures, and unexpected combinations, you’ll create your own unique collage while experimenting with intuition, imagination, and visual storytelling. Artist Khadija Jahmila will share her approach to working intuitively and finding inspiration through the process of play and discovery. All materials are provided, and no prior collage experience is needed. Everyone is welcome!

About the facilitator: Based in Silver Spring, Maryland, Khadija Jahmila (b. 1993) is an Afro-Caribbean mixed-media artist, mother, and teaching artist whose hand-cut analog collages explore cultural memory, folkloric traditions, and surrealism. Layering found and donated second-hand print materials with rigid substrates like wood and reclaimed metal, her practice celebrates the African diaspora by merging personal heritage with complex visual narratives. Professionally, Jahmila has exhibited and held residencies across the DMV region, notably serving as the Season Artist for Baltimore Center Stage and an artist-in-residence at the Capitol Hill Arts Workshop and Eaton DC. Deeply committed to community-centered cultural work, she balances her studio practice with raising her family, teaching K-5 art year-round, hosting weekly family art programs, and facilitating public workshops that emphasize material transformation, storytelling, and creative accessibility.

Fall Dates: August 30 – November 22, 2026, except for Nov. 15 (due to the Makers Market on Nov. 14)

Time: 10 am to 2 pm

Location: Sidewalk in front of 5210 Wisconsin Avenue NW (in front of the Pepco Substation) at Wisconsin Avenue and Harrison Street NW
