Potomac Skies / Tabletop / June All-Media
Through July 6
Opening reception: Thursday, June 11, 6:30 pm

June’s All-Media Exhibit doesn’t have a theme, officially. But there must be something in the air, because this month’s submissions were all about light and luminosity, said juror Claire Kelly, director of exhibitions at the National Portrait Gallery. (You can read her juror’s dialogue on the exhibit page.)

Maybe it’s because of the longer summer days. Or maybe it’s the influence of this month’s featured solo artist, whose exhibit is all about the pleasure of looking up. Maremi Hooff Andreozzi’s “Potomac Skies” explores the changing light of the sky above that familiar river.

(This month’s third exhibit is the international “Tabletop” Ceramics Exhibit, which will be featured in an upcoming blog post.)
