DC Art

19 Feb

My goal for the next few weeks is to be a bit more cultured! So, here are a few things I intend to check out. If you are also home most of the day, I hope this helps give you a plan!

I am really hoping to get a chance to visit the dcist Exposed exhibit next week. I love that the photos are taken by a mix of people – not all professionals – and that the work is for sale. I missed it last year, but I’m definitely planning on attending this time around!

Also, I saw these great Mary Belcher paintings at the Josephine Butler Parks Center a few weeks ago during the Crafts & Kisses fair. I love how she depicts DC street scenes, and as MJD pointed out, we can always look back and see what the neighborhood looked like when we lived here. They capture a little piece of history! I believe the paintings are sold at Eastern Market most weekends.

And I found a great list of events here, and am particularly interested in the Touchstone Gallery event that features 60 local artists. I like the local focus!

What other events are coming up that will feature local artists? If you know of any, please let me know!
