2nd Saturday Workshop Series: enCIRCLE with Rachel Dickerson!

Posted on: Mar 21

Join us on April 14th, 1 – 4pm for a fun, messy, and hands-on 2nd Saturday workshop led by Rachel Dickerson of Artspace DC. She’ll be leading a recycled materials printing workshop revolving (get it??) around circular objects. Free, all materials provided, and ALL ages welcome. Grab a friend and come make a beautiful abstract piece for your home!

About the artist: Rachel Dickerson is a printmaker and fiber artist. She is also the director of a community based art program in the Shaw neighborhood called New Community ArtSpace that offers affordable art classes and workshops, studio space, exhibit space and public art projects for artists of all ages.

The annual Rhode Island Ave PorchFest will also be happening from 2 – 6pm, so stick around to explore this awesome community event: “Local porches and stoops are transformed into stages for an afternoon of music, dance, and poetry that brings together neighbors, business owners, and artists in a casual and fun display of creative expression!” More info: http://riamainstreet.org/2018/01/09/porch-fest-2018/

  • We did it! Last week we wrapped our Red Dot Monthly Giving Initiative, and because of your generosity and support, we reached our goal! Thanks to our new sustaining supporters, we can plan for a bigger and brighter future for our 30+ resident artists, and for that, we are truly grateful.

Together, they celebrate the tremendous talents of artists with developmental disabilities and help them forge an identity as a person who can affect an emotional response in others with their art. "The Road Ahead" will exhibit at Art Enables July 14- August 24. Join us at the opening reception at Art Enables on July 14 from 4-6 p.m. • #artenables #acreativedc #artworkshere #dcart #dccool #bythings

  • Featured Artwork | "Alone at the Party" Our featured artwork comes from Art Enables resident artist Gary Murrell. A man of few words, Gary speaks through his art, approaching his work with a gentle confidence and a Buddha-like quality. His piece, "Alone at the Party" is a fantastic result of his talent. The abstract piece is simple, but it evokes deep emotion. You could stare into its layers for hours and almost get lost in the stillness. #artenables #artworkshere #acreativedc #dcarts
