Tonight, join us in Crystal City for a reception to celebrate our new exhibit with 120 photographs lining the underground Fotowalk (map at link). They’re huge and beautiful and feature the work of 78 local photographers. Meet us at the Gallery Underground (at the opposite end of the Fotowalk from the Metro) from 6-8 p.m. for an open bar and quality time with talented artists. This event is part of First Fridays in Crystal City, so wander around the underground for additional openings, wine tastings, crafts, and more.
- If you wondered why In Frame has been on hiatus, it’s because our curator Caroline Space has been working hard on her latest photography project, Forest of Lorien (see a video preview here), which she’ll be presenting as her masters thesis at the Corcoran School of Art and Design next Wednesday, April 12, 6 to 9 p.m., along with several other undergrad and graduate students. The event is open to the public but you must RSVP. Here at Exposed DC we want to give our hearty congratulations to our exceptionally talented team member!
