About Us

The Pink Line Project catalyzes the culturally curious to participate, innovate, engage, and conspire with passion, awesomeness, inspiration, generosity, and ingenuity.

Think Pink!

The Pink Line is "a symbolic new Metro line that would connect diverse social groups with D.C.'s art scene, and a contrarian color emblematic of D.C.'s storied punk music history and its unexpectedness." (Citystream)

Who is Philippa?

Philippa P.B. Hughes, the Pink Line Project's Chief Creative Contrarian, was featured in The Washington Post  as one of "The Cultural Crowd's Refreshing Faces" who is "remaking the scene" in DC as a connector.

What is a connector?

"We do not make decisions about pieces of art or music to listen to or dresses to wear, based on how well they work. We buy these things because we like them...for some reason. And that reason is, very often, because it has been given value by experts - someone or some people or some organization or gallery or newspaper - that has the credibility to crown a dress, a painting, or a new music single with the approval and cachet that make it worth wearing, buying, or listening to. These people are the gatekeepers, the tastemakers, the "connectors." They tell us what is worth having, what has taste, in a seemingly arbitrary, symbolic, and status-driven economy"

--The Warhol Economy, by Elizabeth Currid
