It’s October and that means there is a lot going on in the DMV art world — so much so that we are sending out this special newsletter focusing on events and exhibitions that feature Washington Print Club members.
Curated by WPC member Helen Frederick, Eternal Paper brings together 20 artists who have collaborated to create hand-formed art in and on paper. Their approaches range from representation to abstraction and address political, ecological, and social issues. These artists honor past traditions while inventing new concepts of materiality. The exhibition includes work by WPC members Soledad Salame, Helen Frederick, Randi Reiss McCormack, and Gretchen Schermerhorn. More information and the link to register for the October 22 opening is available here.
Julia Bloom’s work is included in the exhibition Repetition at Ruby Projects, Fairfax, VA. The gallery is located in a private home. Those wishing to visit the exhibition should contact Travis Childers via email.
