The Popcorn Gallery presents Decades Ahead: Visions of the Future, featuring the works of over 20 artists based in the DC Metro Area. This year, the Glen Echo Park Partnership for Arts and Culture is celebrating its 20th anniversary. As we reflect on our achievements and contributions to the arts community over the last two decades, we also look ahead and consider how we can have a greater impact in the region in the decades to come. To commemorate the anniversary, we invited local artists to submit works that convey their vision for the future. The works in this exhibition explore the concept of the future from personal, cultural, social and political lenses. Through a variety of media, including but not limited to painting, drawing, sculpture, and textile work, the artists featured in this exhibition share their many different visions of what the future may hold. Some present concerns about our environment and relationship with technology, while others offer utopian visions for the way society can become more inclusive and vibrant. Together, the works featured here invite viewers to ponder their own idea of what the future holds. What will society look like in decades to come? How would the arts impact our culture decades from now?

On view in the Stone Tower Gallery, artist Travis Childers presents Boundaries, a solo exhibition featuring his most recent work. Using everyday materials, Childers elevates the seemingly mundane and simple into new objects, infusing them with meaning though always keeping each object’s original purpose in mind. Sometimes playing with scale, other times using an abundance of the same material, Childers explores the idea of boundaries and the way in which crossing the boundaries around us can sometimes lead to inspiration and positive change, and other times to destruction and disaster.
