SUMMARY:Melissa Burley: The Fragility of Things - Public Reception
DESCRIPTION:* This exhibition runs May 23–Jun. 21\, with a public reception on Fri.\, Jun. 12. * \n\n\n\n“We inhabit a time when things have become more fragile and urgently in need of delicate tending.”– William E. Connolly \n\n\n\nIn The Fragility of Things\, Burley reflects on vulnerability in an era shaped by uncertainty – environmental\, political\, and deeply personal. Drawing on natural forms like eggs and seeds\, her work explores fragility not as weakness\, but as a space where resilience and quiet strength can emerge\, inviting viewers to consider their own balance between growth and breaking.

DESCRIPTION:* This exhibition runs Jun. 27–Aug. 2\, with a public reception on Sat.\, Jul. 11. * \n\n\n\nThe Light We Carry is a portrait series celebrating those who shine authentically.

Individual brightness becomes collective: a source of connection\, belonging\, and possibility – an enduring light we hold and pass on.

SUMMARY:Maria Santiago: Designing Through the Geometry - Public Reception
DESCRIPTION:* This exhibition runs Jul. 27–Sep. 5\, with a public reception on Sat.\, Aug. 1. * \n\n\n\nDesigning through the Geometry comprises two series\, Jupiter Background in Black and Time\, by Argentinian artist Maria Santiago. Time is invisible. The Past-Present-Future is one with constant movement: yesterday\, today\, and tomorrow. Time transforms into small movements or changes. Time is magic. The artist focuses on color and time\, where everything is always moving and everything changes. However\, the background is completely quiet\, and the shapes are only inside the circle as time passes. This mixed-media show focuses on what it means to explore texture and bright colors against geometric shapes.

SUMMARY:Trial by Fire: 25 Years of the Washington Glass School - Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Founded in 2001\, the Washington Glass School has evolved from a local studio into a definitive pillar of the DMV arts landscape. Trial by Fire celebrates this quarter-century milestone\, honoring a community that redefined glass as a narrative and sculptural force. This anniversary exhibition brings together founders\, resident artists\, and alumni to explore the “Glass Secessionist” movement—a philosophy centered on storytelling and the marriage of glass with mixed media. From monumental public works to intimate sculptures\, the pieces on display reflect an enduring legacy of mentorship and technical innovation. This tribute highlights the school’s vital role in shaping the history and future of contemporary glass art in the Gateway Arts District and beyond.

SUMMARY:What Now: Exploring the Unknown Future by Dwayne Martin - Public Reception
DESCRIPTION:Dwayne Martin’s paintings explore the tension between uncertainty and forward motion. Through repeated faces\, grids\, and angular forms\, he evokes systems once trusted—identity\, order\, and progress—now fragmented and reassembled over time. His work reflects a dynamic interplay between structure and disruption\, inviting viewers to consider how meaning evolves within shifting frameworks.

SUMMARY:Michele Banks: Forces of Nature - Public Reception
DESCRIPTION:Forces of Nature presents recent works by Washington\, D.C.-based artist Michele Banks\, whose ink and watercolor paintings on yupo explore the invisible forces that shape our world—from microscopic atomic motion to the vast curvature of space. Drawing inspiration from physics and biology\, Banks merges scientific imagery with a fluid\, organic aesthetic\, balancing precision with spontaneity. Through the interplay of charts\, graphs\, and expressive washes of ink\, her work reflects on memory\, connection\, and what it means to exist within both natural and social systems. By bridging the rigor of science with the intuition of art\, Banks brings warmth and accessibility to complex\, abstract ideas.

SUMMARY:Jeremy Wright - Public Reception
DESCRIPTION:Ceramicist and sculptor Jeremy Wright explores the concept of identity and the interplay between the actual and the perceived\, challenging viewers to look beyond what they immediately see to find a more subtle\, yet important\, subtext. Born in Canada of Cree descent\, Wright identifies as a trans-cultural artist. It is not unusual to see totem spirits such as bears\, eagles\, and bison in the imagery of his work.

SUMMARY:Young Sam Yoon - Public Reception
DESCRIPTION:Young Sam Yoon’s richly atmospheric oil paintings invite viewers into emotional landscapes shaped by memory\, nature\, and time. Through layered paint and expressive\, gestural brushwork\, forms blur and dissolve into fields of texture and color\, creating a sense of motion and quiet intensity. Rather than depicting specific locations\, these works evoke emotional landscapes—impressions shaped by memory\, sensation\, and the feeling of being immersed in place.

SUMMARY:Sarah Presley: Silver Spark\, Lucky Star - Public Reception
DESCRIPTION:Sarah Presley creates a conversation between grief and the idea of home in Silver Spark\, Lucky Star. This collection features motifs of residential architecture reminiscent of the small town Presley grew up in\, and one she often returns to in her work. Through bright colors\, family photographs and vintage papers\, Presley evokes memories of home. The etchings and collages\, however\, frequently lack subjects\, leaving them specific to no one and emphasizing the empty\, unobtainable feeling of nostalgia.
