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/

  • Featured Artwork | "No More Games"⠀ As one of Art Enables' youngest resident artists, Maurice is a vibrant and incredibly talented illustrator and artist. Maurice has a remarkable ability to reimagine characters, images, and scenes in a distinctive style that is all his own. A great example of his style is captured in his recent piece "No More Games." All parents can appreciate the humor and real-to-life scenario in this unique piece. Maurice’s preferred mediums are commonly colored pencils and art stix and he works with a unique balance of speed and careful precision. This work of art can be seen in our current exhibition "Outsider Art Inside the Beltway" through October 5.
  • Palm stones are polished oval stones that can be used for crystal healing, meditation, and many other esoteric healing practices--they can also just be fun! Paint your own palm stone at our next FREE 2nd Saturday Workshop on October 12! Drop-in between 1 and 4 p.m. to create your own meditative masterpiece.

  • Closing Soon: "Outsider Art Inside the Beltway"⠀ Now in its 13th year, OAIB began as a way for D.C.-area groups working with self-taught artists to exhibit together. Over the last 13 years, the exhibition has had such success that it now spans all three gallery spaces at Art Enables, and features artists from across the nation alongside the resident artists of Art Enables. Don't miss your chance to visit this amazing exhibition and take home affordable framed artwork from artists around the nation. The exhibition closes on October 5.
