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 Intervals, a solo exhibition by artist Lou Joseph. Intervals is a selection of work  produced in the years since the birth of his son Gabe in 2017. Using recycled vinyl cut to 26 x 36 inch pieces, the artist worked on batches of paintings in his home studio, The process of working on the paintings in layers fit into the time between child care, family time, employment, and housework. This often erratic process was exacerbated by the ongoing pandemic and working from home. While not a literal, day-by-day documentation of this unique time in the artists’ life and the world at large, the accumulated works (approximately 150 paintings to date) relay a sense of fun, lack of sleep, mental health struggles, worry over the pandemic, the country, and climate change, and personal growth that characterized this time.

    Park View Gallery Hours: Mondays - Saturdays, 10am - 6pm
