2021 Words Matter

Capitol Hill Arts Workshop
545 7th Street, SE
Washington, DC. 20003

Members have interpreted Words Matter. Words have the power and energy to excite, deflate, nourish, enrage and everything in between. This exhibit’s theme is an invitation to explore how words inform the artist’s work, deepen it, expand expression, and move a narrative realistically, abstractly, or both.

“Beauty is Everywhere” Exhibition

Open Juried Exhibition for CHAL Artists

March 6, 2021 – October 15, 2021

Dermatology Office of Dr. Mana Ogholikhan
Greenbelt, MD

CHAL has been invited to display artwork at the new office of Dr. Mana Ogholikhan in Greenbelt, MD. Her request is for “Contemporary, Modern, Bright, Abstract, Funky, Pop” art.

Dr. Ogholikhan is a dermatologist, so art which interprets the human body would also be appealing.

Artist: Rosa Vera

Seventy artists/members from the DC metro area exhibit and sell original artwork at CHAW and various venues in the DC region.
