Playhaus DC is an experiential, experimental pop-up located in Union Market and is the brainchild of Maria Bastasch and Ashley Jaye Williams of Disco Mary Collective.

Playhaus goes beyond the traditional by focusing on fostering community through fine art, workshops and unique retail experiences. When you walk into the space, there are artists on the move, creating everything from murals to textiles. A communal table laying out art supplies, a curated rack of vintage fits and inflatable furniture, discover something new or simply absorb your surroundings.

Imagination flourishes at Playhaus — not only as a haven for artists, but to accommodate performances, gatherings, and immaculate vibes for passers-by. Check out Playhaus in the Gables (across from Dock 5) at Union Market, and look forward to upcoming “procrastination happy hour,” film screenings and special workshops.
