SUMMARY:“After Edward Hopper” Call for Entry Deadline
DESCRIPTION:Call for Entry ~ Open to Del Ray Artisans MembersAfter Edward Hopper: Themes of Solitude and Isolation\nExhibit Dates: February 5–27\, 2021\nDigital entry deadline extended to Sunday\, January 17\, 2021 by midnight\n“COVID Nighthawks reimagined” by Kelly MacConomy\nEntry Details & Form \nLife in the time of COVID-19 this past year has created an inorganic state of a nearly lost humanity. The pervasive experiences of solitude\, isolation\, loneliness\, longing\, and reverie are a common thread in the paintings of Edward Hopper. Hopper’s iconic emblem of Post-Depression-era America and a world at war\, “Nighthawks\,” recalls not only the dire times of economic uncertainty but a world lost. Artists are invited to enter their own existential explorations and expressions in response to COVID-19. Make it personal—or make it Hopperesque! \nAfter Edward Hopper: Themes of Isolation and Solitude is a Del Ray Artisans members-only exhibit. Membership has its privileges! However\, if you are not a member\, you may join Del Ray Artisans now. \nThis exhibit will have an Art-to-Go Marketplace. Entries for the marketplace are also due January 17 and DO NOT have to fit the theme. \nEntry Details & Form

This event is hosted online via Zoom; connection information will be sent to registered participants via email the day before the talk and again on the day of the talk. \nRegister Now \nThe Women’s Right to Vote: 100 Years Since the 19th Amendment exhibit at Del Ray Artisans celebrates the achievements of women in the U.S. over the past 100 years\, since the historic ratification of the 19th Amendment\, which ensured that the right to vote could not be denied based on sex. This amendment also led the way to more social equality and social reform. \nThis art exhibit features the work of Del Ray Artisans members and local area high school students. Artwork explores the suffrage movement beginning in the 1850s\, the Civil Rights movement of the 1950s and 60s\, and the struggle that continues into present day. Progress is achieved in incremental steps\, and the movement towards total equality in America continues. The year 2020 marks an unprecedented time of turmoil in U.S. history. One hundred years after the ratification of the 19th Amendment\, and in the midst of a world-wide pandemic\, a presidential race\, social justice demonstrations\, and economic recession\, lift your voice and vote. \nThe Women’s Right to Vote: 100 Years Since the 19th Amendment exhibit runs November 6-28\, 2020 at Del Ray Artisans gallery in the Colasanto Center\, 2704 Mount Vernon Avenue\, Alexandria\, Virginia 22301. Gallery hours are Thursday & Friday 12-6pm\, Saturday 12-4pm. Please wear a face mask and maintain 6? of personal space. The gallery is free\, open to the public\, and accessible. \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).
