Art & Activism
July 29, 2020 to August 22, 2020
Today, many social movements that have long been ignored have come to the forefront of our national consciousness. Black Lives Matter, LGBTQIA+ rights, women's rights, immigration rights, and the climate change crisis, among others, are movements that Americans are fighting for. At Studio Gallery, we believe that art can be a catalyst for change. For centuries, artists around the world have used their work to educate, comment, and criticize culture and politics. This summer, our all-members exhibition invites Studio Gallery artists to present on the issues that move them to create. Keeping with the theme of Art & Activism, some members have elected to donate the proceeds of their sales to a charitable organization of their choosing. By purchasing a piece from Studio Gallery, you are always supporting local D.C. artists and the arts community. We hope that this year's show inspires and uplifts our community to continue fighting for equality and social justice.
