Saturday November 5

Art in the Alley (5pm to 9pm)

In the spirit of Trinidad DIY art shows, approximately six artists, most of them residents of Trinidad, will display their work in the alley behind the 1200 block of Morse Street NE. Works will include both photography and mixed-media. 

Art in the Alley is located between the 1200 blocks of Florida Ave and Morse St NE.

Studio H (6pm to 8pm)

Studio H will host an artist reception for the current exhibition Amalgamations by Steven Pearson.  Pearson paints large scale work and has created a 9’ x 9’ installation piece for the gallery.  Inspired by the deluge of quotidian information we are subjected to via social media, television, radio and email, Amalgamations translates this cacophony into vibrant colors and shapes that clash with one another eventually resulting in what Pearson calls “visual white noise”.  For additional details, click here.

Studio H is located at 408 H Street NE, second floor

DC Residence at DC Week- THE HOME (Starting at 6pm)

A group of local curators, fashion designers and writers from the Fridge and the now defunct WORN magazine have teamed up to create a series of events to discuss the direction of fashion, art and technology in DC.  For additional details click here.

THE HOME is located at 1629 L ST NE

Conner Contemporary Art (6pm to 8pm)

The gallery will host two concurrent exhibitions.  Artist Patricia Piccinini’s, a sculptor, has created a body work entitled The Welcome Guest which uses both natural and artificial objects to explore humanity’s challenge in facing the dialectic between nature and biotechnology.  The second artist, Victoria F. Gaitán, a photographer, explores gender stereotypes in Scenes of Mild Peril. For additional details, click here.

Conner Contemporary Art is located at 1358 Florida Avenue, NE

Industry Gallery (6pm to 8pm)

Above Conner, Industry Gallery closes Tom Price’s Meltdown.  The artist has installed a new piece called “PP Tree” made up of synthetic materials that contrast sharply to the ephemerality of the cherry blossoms from which the piece was inspired.  For additional details, click here.
