Ongoing ART
“Play of Color” is an exploration of high-impact color by five emerging women artists. Sharing the classes and gallery space of Alexandria’s Art League, these five women admired each other’s creative accomplishments and wanted to collaborate on a group exhibit. The result is an eclectic collection of artwork that explores the use of color.
The show will run through September 11, 2010 at the Atrium Gallery of the Takoma Park Community Center in Takoma Park, MD. 7500 Maple Avenue. Free. Info: 301-891-7224 or www.takomaparkmd.gov. Come meet the artists personally on August 27, 6-8 PM at a reception in the Atrium Gallery.
