Grant season is upon us and Nicole and I have each applied for the 2011 Artist Fellowship Program funded by the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities (DCCAH).  As part of the process, DCCAH worked with The Joan Hisaoka Healing Arts Gallery at Smith Farm Center to create “11 x 51,” an exhibition that opens Friday at 6pm and contains an example of numerous applicant’s work.  In my case, it’s a 36″ x 29″ box-framed c-print from the 2009 Renaissance Festival and Nicole created a 13″ X 19″ print of an image that will appear in the next hardcopy edition of Worn Magazine.  DCCAH says each artist’s work will “receive exposure from residents, art aficionados and the press” but I imagine it will also be evaluated by anonymous grant panelists.

Please join us for the opening if you can.   The Joan Hisaoka Healing Arts Gallery is located at 1632 U St NW and also has hours on Saturday 11 am – 3 pm.  This event contains an incredibly diverse range of work from some of DC’s best artists, so it should be quite the visual feast.
