Two volunteer positions need to be filled: House Manager and usher.

The House Manager will be responsible for managing between 2-8 man crews during a 2-5 hour time slot for the Alexandria Film Festival (November 3-6).

For this installment of “Art Bites,” we look into the diptych of America Remembers/The Lives by Hernán Murno in the July open exhibit. Murno’s strong, graphic lines are reminiscent of early American Abstraction art of the 1940s. American Abstractionist work rose from a time of political unrest in response to WWII, and looking at Murno’s piece, you have the feeling that the aesthetic choice was not only inspired by the abstract movement but also reflective of today’s unique political tensions.
