SUMMARY:POSTPONED: 19th Amendment\, War of the Roses
DESCRIPTION:Schedule Update: In compliance with the Governor’s directive to avoid large events and consideration of Alexandria City Public Schools’ schedule\, Del Ray Artisans has rescheduled this members and high school students’ exhibit from April 2020 to November 2020 and extended the invitation to enter to 2020 high school graduates. \nThe original exhibit title was 19th Amendment\, War of the Roses. Since the postponement\, the exhibit has been revised to be inclusive of current events. The new exhibit title is Women’s Right to Vote: 100 Years Since the 19th Amendment. \nView the Call for Entry \n\n“Vote” by Drew\nCelebrating the 100-year Anniversary of the 19th Amendment\, the 19th Amendment\, War of the Roses art exhibit at Del Ray Artisans pays tribute to the rights we enjoy today because of the battle won for women’s right to vote in 1920. This amendment not only gave women the right to vote\, but also led the way to more overall equality and social reform. The exhibit features artwork by Del Ray Artisans members and local high school students. \nArtist awards will be presented by Elizabeth Bennett-Parker\, Vice Mayor of Alexandria\, in both the high school category and the members category. Special contributions towards awards provided by the Kiwanis Club of Alexandria\, Community Partner McD Mateos\, and the curators. \n“A Hooded Intellect” by Amy Kitchin Hower\nThe National American Woman Suffrage Association\, formed in 1890\, adopted the colors white\, golden yellow and purple. Symbolizing purity and hope\, golden-yellow banners were used in parades to express the spirit of the movement. Soon\, yellow roses became an emblem of the suffrage cause. In contrast\, anti-suffragists adopted red roses as their symbol. What ensued was a “War of the Roses.” Are you a “suff” or “antis“? Which color rose would you wear? – yellow or red. \nAlthough Harry T. Burn\, the youngest member of the Tennessee state legislature wore a red rose on his lapel\, his surprising “yea” vote on August 18\, 1920\, allowed the passing and ratification of the 19th Amendment\, which guaranteed women the right to vote\, and moved millions of women closer to equality. “Do the right thing” his mother urged him. Harry stands on the right side of history because he did the “right thing.” Ever wonder what life would be like if Harry Burn had voted ‘nay’ to women’s rights? \nFor more information\, please contact the curators Amy Kitchin Hower (alkitchin.dc@gmail.com)\, Karen Schmitz (kschmitzart@gmail.com)\, and Drew Cariaso (druamaart@comcast.net).

SUMMARY:Tell Me a Story (Online 3/30-6/10)
DESCRIPTION:Tell Me a Story Art Exhibit\nOnline Exhibit runs March 30-June 10\, 2020\nThis is the story of curating an art exhibit at an unusual time. \nThe Tell Me a Story exhibit opened on March 6\, 2020 at Del Ray Artisans gallery with a busy reception and high praise. The walls are packed with artwork: 189 pieces in the exhibit and 134 pieces in the art-to-go marketplace. This is nearly double the size of a typical exhibit in this space—with work from 95 artists on display. \nAs safety guidelines changed\, this exhibit was extended to April 26; then\, ultimately\, on March 23 the gallery was closed to the public until further notice. At this time\, we rose to the challenge and posted the artwork in a Flickr album\, so the exhibit could still be viewed. \nIf you would like to purchase artwork\, please email the artwork title\, artist’s name\, or description to Gallery@DelRayArtisans.org or Technology@DelRayArtisans.org by June 10\, 2020. Purchased artwork will be available for pick up after the gallery reopens. \nView the Artwork \nMy Journey as Curator\nWhen I was developing the theme for this exhibit\, it was important to me to be able to include a variety of visual art and literary works by local artists. The idea was to be able to look at any piece of art and then let the story unfold. Everyone’s story is different; and there are many ways to express your story. \nStill I was overwhelmed by the response. This exhibit received nearly double the expected amount of entries\, and I needed to cull about a third of the work in order to have any hope of fitting it into the gallery. (There was a moment when I considered putting art on the ceiling!) \nWe had an outstanding team of volunteers at artwork receiving (when artists drop off accepted pieces) and helping arrange the display. I took the video below after the exhibit’s first round of hanging. Tweaks were made later and temporary artwork tags (seen hanging off the pieces in the video) were replaced by wall tags. \nThe week of artwork receiving and hanging is always the busiest for the curator. It’s such a reward to see everyone’s reaction to the collection at the opening reception—and the reception was crowded! The exhibit was well received\, and many buyers went home with great art from the art-to-go marketplace and reserved exhibit art for later pick up. \nThen COVID-19. As we learned more about the illness\, it became clear the gallery would be closing. How do we share the art safely? The internet to the rescue. \nThank you to all the artists who submitted photos of their work and to the volunteers who took additional photos. Together we were able to capture the essence of the exhibit through pictures\, so you can still take this imaginative journey with us. \n\n“Something’s Brewing” by Lesley Hall\, acrylic\, $337\, 8×11″\nIn the description for each artwork in the Flickr album\, you’ll find the artwork title\, artist\, media\, price\, and dimensions. If you would like to purchase an artwork\, please send the title\, description\, and/or artist’s name to Gallery@DelRayArtisans.org and Technology@DelRayArtisans.org to make arrangements. The artwork is available for purchase until June 10\, 2020\, and it will be available for pickup after the gallery reopens. \nWe will also be sharing some of the artists’ stories on social media\, so be sure to follow Del Ray Artisans on Instagram\, Facebook\, and Twitter. \nThank you the artists\, the volunteers\, and patrons for celebrating the arts. \n—Lesley Hall\, curator \nDel Ray Artisans’ gallery is located in the Colasanto Center\, 2704 Mount Vernon Avenue\, Alexandria\, Virginia\, but is closed until further notice (effective March 23\, 2020). Check DelRayArtisans.org for schedule updates. \n\nDel Ray Artisans\, founded in 1992\, is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to promote art for the benefit of artists and the community.  \nDel Ray Artisans (DRA) appreciates the continued support from the City of Alexandria\, Alexandria Commission for the Arts\, Virginia Commission for the Arts\, and National Endowment for the Arts. DRA is a 501(c)(3) organization.

SUMMARY:Kondo vs. Chaos (2/7-3/1)
DESCRIPTION:Kondo vs. Chaos Art Exhibit\nFebruary 7 – March 1\, 2020\nOpening Reception: Friday\, February 7 from 7-9pm\n“Chaos: The Failure of Gravity” by Marcia L. Toepfer\nDel Ray Artisans presents an exciting new exhibit\, Kondo vs. Chaos\, featuring the work of local artists from February 7 to March 1\, 2020. Meet the artists at the opening reception on Friday\, February 7 from 7-9pm. Kondo vs. Chaos examines the divide between those inspired by Marie Kondo’s theory of keeping only those things that bring you joy and those who deal with chaos in their lives. \nMarie Kondo’s technique has brought simplicity and order to millions of devotees. Her principles have struck a chord with those overwhelmed by “stuff.” Some artists thrive on\, or at least live with\, chaos. They eschew the orderly static world and value dynamism. Some painters\, like the Dutch still life artists\, depicted “organized chaos.” They painted carefully chaotic scenes of overcrowded tables that overflowed with platters of flowers\, fowls and fruits. Picasso used chaos in his electrifying Guernica painting to show the horrors\, terrors and the randomness of war. \nSimplicity and chaos co-exist in the minds of many and in the world at large. This exhibit enables artists to externalize these concepts. \nThe Kondo vs. Chaos exhibit is at Del Ray Artisans gallery in the Colasanto Center\, 2704 Mount Vernon Avenue\, Alexandria\, Virginia 22301. Gallery hours are: Thursdays 12-6pm\, Fridays 12-9pm\, Saturdays 12-9pm\, and Sundays 12-6pm. The gallery is free\, open to the public\, and accessible. \nFor more information\, please visit www.DelRayArtisans.org/exhibits or contact the curators Marcia Toepfer (marcia.toepfer1@cox.net) and Taly Walsh (taly.walsh@gmail.com) or Director of Curating Brittany Gabel (Curating@DelRayArtisans.org).

SUMMARY:(No) Comfort Zone (4/5-4/28)
DESCRIPTION:(No) Comfort Zone Art Exhibit\nApril 5-28\, 2019\nOpening Reception: Friday\, April 5 from 7-9pm\n“Scribble Scrabble” by Kelli Sincock\nThe (No) Comfort Zone exhibit reflects people\, places and things that are in and out of the artists’ comfort zone. Join us at the opening reception on Friday\, April 5 from 7-9pm to meet the curators\, Del Ray Artisans members\, and local area high school students who have work in the exhibit. \nThe artwork created from within the comfort zone feels comforting\, at ease\, and reassuring. The experience was free from anxiety\, stress\, uncertainty\, scarcity and vulnerability. The artist was nourished and felt loved\, and the feelings shine through. \nThe artwork created outside the comfort zone can feel dangerous\, but also fun and exciting! Savoring the new\, the unknown\, the unfamiliar and the uncertain\, these artists went to the edge and entered a new zone. \nThe exhibit runs April 5-28\, 2019 at Del Ray Artisans gallery in the Colasanto Center\, 2704 Mount Vernon Avenue\, Alexandria\, Virginia 22301. Gallery hours are: Thursdays 12-6pm\, First Thursdays (April-September) 12-9pm\, Fridays 12-9pm\, Saturdays 12-9pm\, and Sundays 12-6pm.

SUMMARY:Bringing Words to Life (9/30-1/27)
DESCRIPTION:Bringing Words to Life Art Exhibit at VCA Alexandria Animal Hospital\nSeptember 30\, 2018 – January 27\, 2019\n“I Hope You Dance” by Monica Hokeilen\nThe Bringing Words to Life art exhibit at the Veterinary Clinics of America Alexandria Animal Hospital (VCA Alexandria) features Del Ray Artisans members’ artwork. The exhibit is a part of Del Ray Artisans’ Gallery Without Walls (GWW) program in partnership with VCA Alexandria and features paintings\, photography\, and mixed media works of art. \nWords can be powerful forms of art. Whether written\, spoken\, or sung\, words often evoke emotion and meaning that stay with us long after they are finished. Bringing Words to Life pairs a line from an artist’s favorite song\, poem\, book\, or speech with the artist’s visual interpretation of that quote. This exhibit will display the artwork and quoted lines together at VCA Alexandria from September 30\, 2018 through January 27\, 2019. Patrons may view the artwork at VCA Alexandria during regular business hours and at the discretion of hospital staff. \nAll artwork is available for purchase through Del Ray Artisans. Artists are donating 20% of the purchase price of sold pieces in an equal split between Del Ray Artisans and the VCA Alexandria’s charity of choice\, Veterans Moving Forward. Veterans Moving Forward helps veterans lead more productive lives through partnerships with trained assistance animals. Del Ray Artisans and Veterans Moving Forward are 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations. \nVCA Alexandria Animal Hospital is located at 2660 Duke Street\, Alexandria\, VA 22314. VCA Alexandria staff can be reached by phone at 703-751-2022 or 703-823-3601. Del Ray Artisans’ volunteer GWW curator\, Monica Hokeilen\, may be reached at GWW@DelRayArtisans.org.
