The federal government shut down does not affect operations at Glen Echo Park. The Park is open, and our arts programs are continuing as usual; however, National Park Service monthly tours are on hold until further notice. Although the Park is located within a treasured National Park, the Glen Echo Park Partnership for Arts and Culture is not federally funded.

Description
The Park View Gallery presents In Full View: A Portrait Experience, a solo exhibition by artist Kayla J. Fryer. Through vivid color, voice recordings, and study of human expression, Fryer explores individual vulnerability within the African Diasporic community in America. She calmly raises the hard reality of the human experience: we don’t have the control we want, we can’t always protect the ones we love, sometimes we feel alone and empty, both materially and spiritually. In Full View is also a self-portrait. The artist’s religious philosophy shapes and frames her experience and understanding of vulnerability. The questions and answers this philosophy presents are essential to what matters in her existence.
