    MEET THE ARTIST: LEONARD JEWLER

    1:00pm - 3:00pm

    black and white photograph
    Description

    Meet Artist Leonard Jewler in the Stone Tower Gallery to learn more about his solo exhibition 1960s Washington: Turbulence and Community.

    1960s Washington: Turbulence and Community showcases the work of photographer Leonard Jewler, capturing Washington D.C. during the late 1960s. This was a time of turbulence in the nation’s capital when there were frequent demonstrations in the streets. At the same time, residents went about their daily lives in the community. Fifteen photos are presented in three sets: the aftermath of the 1968 riots triggered by the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.; the 1969 demonstration against the inauguration of Richard Nixon; and scenes of neighborhood life in the city in 1969. The photos were taken with a single-lens reflex film camera, and the negatives were converted to digital format.

    PARK VIEW GALLERY | BOTANICAL WHIMSY: PATTERNS IN BLOOM

    10:00am - 6:00pm

    Abstract painting of flowers
    Description

    Botanical Whimsy: Patterns in Bloom grows out of the artist’s early fascination with biology and the hours she spent studying plant and animal life through a microscope. That experience sparked a lasting interest in the intricate patterns and rhythms found throughout the natural world, as well as the sense of wildness that exists within it. Through a series of layered, patterned, mixed-media works, this exhibition explores the language of flowers and botanical forms—how their colors, structures, and repeating patterns reveal both spontaneity and precise design. Viewers are invited to pause, come closer, and notice the often-overlooked subtleties in nature. Beneath what may first appear untamed lies an intricate beauty shaped by pattern, structure, and quiet complexity. It is a celebration of the joy and wonder found in observing the remarkable world of plants and landscapes through a whimsical lens.
