Starting '09 Right

What's new in the New Year? The Washington Post has some suggestions and among them...

· Next week, we're super-excited about the opening of a show by young local artistCory Oberndorfer at the Gallery at Flashpoint. His giant candy-colored roller-derby girls filled the walls of the Katzen Art Center's two-story rotunda and hung in Artomatic's main music space last year. Catch more of his stuff -- he calls his high-rise ladies "indoor billboards" -- in his solo show, "Flavor of the Month" (are we sensing irony?), opening Jan. 9.

Free. Opening reception Jan. 9, 6-8 p.m.; show runs through Feb. 13. 916 G St. NW. 202-315-1310 or visithttp://www.flashpointdc.org.
