First Friday Dupont Circle Galleries ArtWalk

Kick off the new year with The ArtHouse in a stroll around Dupont Circle to tour a few art galleries. It will be cold but we won't be walking that far, and the galleries will be warm inside.

We'll start off at Hillyer where photos in RESIST celebrate resistance and a call to action. It asks viewers to ponder the question “What are you willing to do or risk to resist?” Unbreakable Elements by Jun Lee explores printmaking through materials such as wood, paper, and glass.

At the Ven, Solo Exhibition Beauty through Contrast showcases award winning international photo artist Sebastian Schuster. Vika Gallery is the contemporary art space of Vika Visual Arts Association — a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting and advancing the arts in the Washington, DC region. Dupont Underground will present 21 portraits from the 1000 Dreams Project: Refugee stories in their own words.

We'll finish around 8 pm. Can suggest a couple dinner places after for the group.
