Firefighters responded to a blaze outside Artisphere (1101 Wilson Blvd) in Rosslyn early this morning.

The fire broke out on a terrace and did not damage the interior of the cultural center. The cause is under investigation.

“The fire was quickly extinguished and contained to the terrace area,” said Arlington County Fire Department spokesman Capt. Gregg Karl. “There was damage to a piece of construction equipment and the terrace. The fire is under investigation by the Fire Marshal.”

Said Artisphere spokesman Jim Byers: “Artisphere is open as usual, as the fire was not inside the venue itself.”

Additional details were not immediately available.
