Have you ever been to the American University Museum at the Katzen Arts Center? I haven't! Join me for a special region-wide exhibition of art by contemporary DMV women artists. There's a lot to see in this beautiful art space, and afterwards, we'll find a place to gather and mingle.
COST: FREE!
MEET AT: Outside the main entrance to the Katzen Arts Center, 4400 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20016
GETTING HERE: Take the DC Metro red line to the Tenleytown/AU stop, and walk or take the the AU Shuttle (which picks up behind the Whole Foods near Albemarle Street) or M4 DC Metro bus to the museum. Free parking is available at the Katzen Arts Center parking garage.
NOTE: This event starts at 1 p.m., not 2 p.m.! The museum closes at 4 p.m., so we're going a little earlier than usual.
American University Museum at the Katzen Arts Center serves as the central venue for this groundbreaking survey exhibition taking place across sixteen locations throughout the Greater Washington, DC region. The show brings together leading and emerging voices across all genres of the fine arts. With more than 60 works of art on display at AU Museum, and more than 400 artists included in all 16 locations, this unprecedented initiative is now “the largest curated survey of contemporary living women artists in the nation and the first survey of female visual artists working across the DMV,” according to curator Lenny Campello. That's a lot of art from a lot of women!
Other exhibitions also on display include:
- From Ancestral Traces to Contemporary Visions – The Art of Méné, an Ivorian acrylic painter whose "works ... bridge prehistoric rock art with a luminous, modern visual language"
- Jan Svoboda & Jaroslav Beneš: Lenticular Poetry - 1960s photography from two Czech artists
- Orna Ben-Ami: Displacement and Memory - ironwork sculptures of refugees from around the world
AND MORE!
