Happy Summer, Neighbor!
I am pleased to share the latest edition of the Providence District Arts Special! There are many art events taking place in and around the district in the upcoming weeks and throughout the summer. In this issue of the Providence—A Work of heART, you will find performances by local groups, visiting artists, and various opportunities for artists.
I'm delighted to announce that in addition to Nottoway Nights in Vienna, we also bring you the Mosaic Live series at Mosaic District. My office and Fairfax County Parks partnered with Mosaic to present a vibrant summer concert series that promises to captivate audiences with an array of musical styles. You can find more information about this series below.
I will continue sharing performances on a quarterly basis, so please let us know if we’ve missed some events that you’d like us to include in our fall edition. I hope you will consider supporting and engaging in these wonderful opportunities!
Let the show begin!

The Last Match, by Anna Ziegler, directed by Alex Levy
Played out under the bright lights of the U.S. Open Semifinals, The Last Match pits rising Russian star Sergei Sergeyev against American great Tim Porter in an epic showdown that follows two tennis titans through pivotal moments in their lives both on-and-off the court. This deep and intimate exploration of humanity and motivation, set against the backdrop of tennis, serves a perfect parallel to the back-and-forth play of life’s wins and losses.
