Contemporary Realism / Washington From Light to Night
Through October 6
Opening reception tonight!

It’s been a busy year in The Art League Gallery, where our artists have been diving into recent art history for such exhibits as “Abstract Expressionism Revisited,” “Pop Art,” and “The Feminist Movement in Art.” Only two exhibits remain in the special 60th anniversary series, starting with September’s “Contemporary Realism.”

Dorothy Moss of the National Portrait Gallery juried this exhibit, which features a contemporary look at representational art.

In the solo room this month, painter Web Bryant takes a different look at the DC sights we know so well, exploring how they change in the light over the course of a day.

“Contemporary Realism” and “Washington from Light to Night” are open through October 6. Come join us tonight at Second Thursday for the opening reception! It begins at 6:30 pm.
