SUMMARY:Give Me Shelter (3/5-3/27)
DESCRIPTION:Give Me Shelter Art Exhibit\nMarch 5 – 27\, 2021\n“Beach Shelter” by Pamela Day\nPhoto Album | Video Tour \nDuring the pandemic we all have learned what it means to shelter in place. Shelters are often structures\, yet sometimes just a state of where one is. For many it is a way to connect to our dwellings\, and for others it merely means finding refuge. Some people even choose to shelter from the facts of the COVID-19 virus and its spread. The current crisis has nearly 40 million American renters at risk of homelessness. A building\, box\, bench\, grate\, tent\, car—all places where humans shelter. Come see how local artists explore the concept of shelter in the Give Me Shelter art exhibit at Del Ray Artisans. \nReserve a ticket for a half-hour viewing during the extended hours on opening day: Friday\, March 5 between 12-8pm. Opening day tickets are not required\, but ticket holders have priority entry. \nOpening Day Tickets \n\nAssistance\nIf you or someone you know is facing homelessness\, here are some resources by jurisdiction: \n\nCity of Alexandria: Eviction Prevention Programs\, Resources and Information and Homeless Services\nArlington County: Public Assistance and Shelters\nFairfax County: Emergency Shelters\nCity of Falls Church: Housing Services and Shelters\n\nAs well as direct links to local nonprofits with missions to assist: \n\nCarpenter’s Shelter: Housing assistance and more\nMedStreet: Medical care\nNew Hope Housing: Housing assistance and more\n\n\nElements of this exhibit will benefit the Carpenter’s Shelter\, supporting the needs of Alexandria families facing homelessness. We are asking for community help during this exhibit. Look for a designated donations box at the gallery in March and drop off donations to support the current and ongoing needs of the Carpenter’s Shelter\, including new twin-size air mattresses\, new full-size toiletries\, and bar soap. Monetary donations and Target gift cards are also appreciated. Check their website for the latest needs: www.carpentersshelter.org/give/ \nThe Give Me Shelter exhibit runs March 5–27\, 2021 at Del Ray Artisans gallery in the Colasanto Center\, 2704 Mount Vernon Avenue\, Alexandria\, Virginia 22301. The gallery is free\, open to the public\, and accessible. \nRegular gallery hours are Thursdays 12-6pm\, Fridays 12-6pm\, and Saturdays 12-4pm.

SUMMARY:“Unfinished/Finished” Call for Entry Deadline
DESCRIPTION:Call for Entry ~ Open to all area artists and area high school studentsUnfinished / Finished\nExhibit Dates: April 2 – May 1\, 2021\nDigital entry deadline: Sunday\, March 14\, 2021 by midnight\n“Beauty and the Background” by Michael Green (left\, starting artist) and Eileen M. O’Brien (right\, finishing artist)\nEntry Details & Form \nAs artists\, most of us have unfinished pieces hidden in our workspaces. This exhibit challenges us to share those pieces with other artists and see how the “start” inspires a “finish” by someone else. We hope the show will provide a fun and safe way to collaborate\, given the isolation we have all experienced due to the pandemic. Artists may self-pair with someone they know -OR- sign up (by February 12) to be randomly paired. \nUnfinished/Finished is open to all area artists and area high school students. High school students are invited to participate for free (no entry fee). \nThis exhibit will have an Art-to-Go Marketplace. Entries for the marketplace are also due March 14 and DO NOT have to fit the theme. \nEntry Details & Form
