EXPO Study Abroad and the DC Arts and Humanities Education Collaborative are pleased to announce the Global "Art Buzz" Bazaar taking place at the EXPO Study Abroad this April. This free one-day art show features the work of 15 international artists who now call Washington, D.C. home. The art show will take place during the EXPO Study Abroad on April 8th from 3 to 8 p.m. at the Washington Center of the University of California.

EXPO Study Abroad is a free fair where students and young professionals can learn about various study abroad options and have the opportunity to explore reputable study, work and volunteer abroad programs located in more than 30 different countries. The fair will also feature fifteen recognized DC-based artists who hail from across the globe. Each artist will show their work during the EXPO Study Abroad at the Global "Art Buzz" Bazaar and the art will be for sale for one-day only.

The DC Arts and Humanities Education Collaborative has coordinated the Art Buzz series since 2007. The Global "Art Buzz" Bazaar is the Collaborative’s eighth Art Buzz event and is designed to ensure that underserved DC public school students benefit from the region’s rich array of arts amenities. The Global "Art Buzz" Bazaar artists will bring together 15 artists to share their cross-cultural connections with attendees and students through the EXPO Study Abroad.
