The Arlington Arts Center is saddened by the death of local artist Mark Planisek on Wednesday, June 24.
Mark's piece "16th and K Street NW" is included in the DCAC Sparkplug group exhibition currently in our Jenkins Gallery.
The reception for this exhibition was Friday, June 19. Mark was present at the opening and spent the evening with friends and fans, being his usual warm, welcoming, and enthusiastic self. Several hours after leaving the AAC, Mark suffered a severe head injury in a tragic accident in the nearby Clarendon neighborhood.
