The “Take You Home” art exhibit is a must see
The “Take You Home” exhibit currently showing at Gallery Plan B is a must see. Works by both featured artists, Mike Weber and Jason Wright, are breathtaking. Wright uses a modern take on knife painted landscapes to create beautiful, clean-lined pieces. Weber works are the marriage of antique photography and technology, and the results are amazing.

$500 or Less art exhibition
Beginning tomorrow, Vastu presents four of its current artists and two new artists for its first ever “$500 or Less” exhibition offering photography, wall sculpture, painting and mixed-media. We are excited to offer original artwork at affordable prices. The show includes works from Kristina Bilonick, DeMarquis Johnson, Colin Winterbottom, Rose Minetti, Gabriel J. Shuldiner, and Allen Russ. Here’s a sneak peek and some of the work that will be featured…
Etsy find: Stitched Cards
Etsy seller, Stitched Cards, has a set of four stitched cards that feature iconic modern furniture pieces – including the Saarinen Womb chair and the Bertoia Diamond chair. Check it out!
Artist Statement: Lynda Ray
Mapping, encaustic, 12×16″
This painting started by applying a layer of color that creates a chevron pattern on the surface. I then overlay this with a linear pattern. A new structure with it’s own contrasting rhythm appears to float just above the picture plane, mediating the pattern embedded below.
Artist statement: Lynda Ray
Here is what artist Lynda Ray had to say about her piece, Redback, show above…
Beautiful decay of buildings I pass on the way to my studio inspire my work. My commute takes me through an old industrial part of town. Funny, how on one hand looking architectural and on the other hand like some rectangular shaped animal.
Mid City Artists Open Studios
The upcoming Mid City Artists Open Studios event promises to be the biggest open studios tour ever with 27 local DC artists participating. On May 22 – 23, take a walking tour of some of the artist studios located in the District’s Mid City neighborhood.
Not familiar with the Mid City Artists or this event? The artists are a diverse and talented group of about 40 professionals who have come together for the purpose of promoting their art and the Mid City (Dupont / Logan / U Street) neighborhood they call home. The lack of industrial space in DC makes large, open warehouse space for studios hard to come by, so these local artists have carved out niches in unexpected ways. The twice-yearly open studios event allows visitors to see where the artists create and get a look at their most current work.
Be sure to plan your walk ahead of time! Click here to download your map. And, be sure to stop by Vastu to check out the work of Brian Petro and Colin Winterbottom. Their studios are located on our lower level.
Bored with your room…
…change up your artwork! You could add some new pieces or you could reposition your existing artwork. Take the piece from your living room and move it to your bedroom, or make a grouping of work from pieces that currently stand alone. Another quick update that would help bring new life to your artwork and your room would be to have your existing art reframed.
Were you bored with your room, but you made a small change that made a big difference? We want to see! Send us a picture here.
