This weekend: March 2024 Open Exhibit and Lines in Color by Alyse Radenovic at the League; Artomatic in Foggy Bottom; Stained Glass: An Artist’s Demonstration by Jimmy Powers at Mattawoman Creek Art Center; and Capital Art Book Fair at Eastern Market.
Diverse artworks by member artists are the feature of Open Exhibits at The Art League. This month, 99 artworks—painting, drawing, photography, fiber art, ceramics, and mixed media—are on view. The March Open Exhibit was juried by artist Juliette Colas, and is on view through April 7.
March solo artist Alyse Radenovic employs multifold vertical lines in an array of colors for the 11 works featured in her solo exhibit Lines in Color. Each painting is an elaborate yet streamlined nexus of consonant and dissonant color combinations, creating harmonious statements from the interconnection of disparate hues. Each composition is a rich and unified tapestry, at once dynamic and serene. Lines of Color is on view through April 7.

Best of all, Art League members and instructors—Pattee Hipschen, Jane Johnson, Dale McGrath, Andrea Cybyk, Peri Turns, Lisa Laohaphan, Audra Meckstroth, Michael Price, Susan O’Neill, and Jeff Tackes—are exhibiting in this sprawling, one-of-a-kind art show.
