CAG Art Show Now On: Bigger, Better — More Fun


Georgetown Arts 2015, the sixth annual visual arts show, run by the Citizens Association of Georgetown, for those who live and work in the oldest neighborhood in Washington, D.C., kicked off with an evening reception Feb. 12 at the House of Sweden. A lively and large crowd filled the room, checking out the art and saying hello to neighbors, some of whom are quite the artist.

Representing 37 artists, the show is the largest ever and runs daily through Sunday, Feb. 15, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., in the Nobel Room.

“Every year is surprisingly different, and that is what is most interesting and exciting about this exhibit,” said Laura-Anne Tiscornia, chair of Georgetown Arts 2015. “The show attracts new artists as well as reoccurring artists and to see all the different pieces come together and play off one another is remarkable.”

The show’s curator is the Citizens Association’s communications manager Jennie Buehler, who has gallery experience. Some artists are young professionals while others are lifelong learners or teachers. A few of the artists exhibit nationally in other galleries. Attendees are in for a treat to see the vast artistic talent that Georgetown offers.

During Saturday and Sunday, there will be several Artist Talks. At 2 p.m. on Saturday, Peggy Sparks, owner of Artist’s Proof, a gallery on Wiscosin Avenue, will discuss the art scene in Washington, D.C., and highlight the art work displayed.

Artist Guy Fairlamb, Dariush Vaziri and Sherry Kaskey will be talking Sunday at noon. In the afternoon, you will also be able to listen to Andrey Bogoslowsky, Jane Lepscky and Ross Ruot during the Artist Talks.
