Description

Join us for a virtual talk with Re-Creations exhibition curator, Barbara Wolanin, who will discuss the wood turner sculpture show at Glen Echo Park, along with several of the featured artists themselves. The sculptures in this group exhibition were created from the intriguing rough shapes made by wood turner Phil Brown (1937-2018) in the process of making his finely turned and perfectly finished bowls. Each of the collaborating professional sculptors or turners featured in the show works in a distinctive and personal approach, resulting in a wide variety of styles, forms, and sizes. The sculptors, all members of the Washington Sculptors Group, vary in their backgrounds and professional and life experiences. The exhibition is currently on view in the Stone Tower Gallery from May 6-June 5, 2022.

Join Photoworks for a virtual Artist Talk about their current exhibition, "Official/Unofficial: Photographs of Washington DC", juried by Sharon Farmer. The show is an online exhibition from Glen Echo Photoworks juried by the renowned photographer, Sharon Farmer. Official/Unofficial Washington DC challenges our assumptions about the nation’s capital, juxtaposing iconic images from the halls of political power with more intimate photographs of daily life in the District of Columbia. The exhibit portrays a complex and exceptional city in which the official and the unofficial co-exist, and sometimes clash, in extraordinary ways. This talk will be held on Zoom.
