Participating Galleries:

1. Addison/Ripley, 1670 Wisconsin Ave NW

Exhibit: “WC RICHARDSON”

Addison/Ripley is  pleased to present a curated, memorial exhibition of paintings by W. C. Richardson. Selected from the extensive archive of paintings in the artist’s estate, it is a small sampling from decades of work, focusing on paintings from the last twenty years. We are grateful to Chip’s family for giving us access and a free hand to select work. Seen together, the paintings in this exhibition reveal a master craftsman who created bold, highly. detailed explorations composed of layer after layer of paint and to a melody the artist was always eager to share.

2. Washington Printmakers Gallery, 1675 Wisconsin Ave NW

Exhibit: ”New Beginning” (celebrating the new gallery space!)

Come and join us for New Beginnings, which exhibits the hand pulled and digital prints, and the fine art photographs created by each of our artist members. We hope that you enjoy this artwork which reflects our personal views of rebirth and new vistas. 

3. Klagsbrun Studios, 1662 33rd St NW

Micheline Klagsbrun: “Roots”

4. Gallery Article 15, 1624 Wisconsin Ave NW

Exhibit: “Le Monde d’Aujourd’hui: Focus on the Environment”

Focus on the Environment highlights the works of Enyejo Bakaka and Glory Kanga, two of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)’s leading contemporary artists. Both artists often focus on environmental issues, though with highly different styles. Enyejo Bakaka’s works draw from surrealism, including whimsical touches such as water bottles as feet, to highlight the connection between man and nature. For Kanga, man’s relationship is intimately intertwined with nature, as seen is the wood branches representing the human body.
