Aluminum is the most abundant metal on earth and human beings have used it to fashion everything from toys to food storage to shelter. The ubiquitous soda can is a symbol of both consumer waste and efforts at recycling and sustainability. Artists have also made use of aluminum in new processes for digital printing, painting, or engraving images. Aluminosity features these new technologies among the many artistic meditations on this silvery element.

New Exhibits Open Thursday, Nov 17 at McLean Project for the Arts
Join us for the Opening Exhibition Reception to celebrate
our newest exhibitions and meet the talented local artists.
Thursday, November 17th, 7-9PM
This event is free and open to the public. RSVP requested.
Abundance: Works by Mei Mei Chang, Amy Boone McCreesh,
Leslie Shellow, and Jungmin Park | Ramp Gallery
This curated exhibition features four artists whose inclusive approaches combine ideas and materials in a swirling, exuberant, “more is more” manner to create works that unabashedly claim and own their space. Using both traditional and scavenged components, these works flourish both on and off the wall as they move into a through space with an elegant, imaginative, experimental and experiential energy.
Above the Horizon: Works by Nikki Brugnoli | Atrium Gallery
.jpg)
These abstracted and expressionistic drawings and prints center on a post-industrial, post-agricultural landscape as they explore memory and experience, vastness and the precision of proximity. Light, abstraction, transparency and glowing color come together to create works that offer a meditation on safety, separation and the deep familiarity of place. Called to return again and again to the image of an abandoned silo, Brugoli creates an impactful visual symbol imbued with a longing for the past, the comport of the present, and the endless adventure of imagination.
In Process: Photographs by Ajay Malghan | Ramp Gallery
.jpeg)
These large-scale, evocative, and innovative photographs on display by Baltimore artist Ajay Malghan incorporate time as a formative element. Inventive in both conception and process, the works gather light, form and space in both calm and energetic compositions that transport the viewer into the atmosphere of elsewhere. Color glows and radiates, proposing mood and eliciting response, creating a new and intriguing landscape in which to experience and enter the day.

About LAUREL HAUSLER
A Washington, DC native, Laurel Hausler's love of literature, antiquity, unsolved mysteries and the obscure inspire the stories behind her work. Working in a subtractive and additive process, she creates the surface of her paintings in encaustic, oil and graphite. Admired for resisting a self-conscious approach to process, Hausler reveals lines, veils and gestures on her surfaces that demonstrate her decision-making process through the work's evolution to its finished state.

Athenaeum Invitational Opening
OPENING RECEPTION: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 4 - 6 pm
37 Local Artists Chosen
$2500 in Prize Money
September 22 - November 6
Artists from across the region were asked to interpret the theme, "Oh! The joy!" The selected entries represent the breadth and wealth of excellent art being created in D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. Not only displaying a variety of styles and media, the show is a fascinating exploration of the creative process.
At the opening reception on Sunday, September 25 from 4 to 6, Megan Beyer, Executive Director for the President's Council on the Arts and Humanities will award cash prizes of $1500 and $1000. The prize money is furnished by TTR | Sotheby's International Realty, sponsor of the event.
The exhibition includes the work of seven invited artists who have previously exhibited in the gallery and thirty artists selected from responses to an open call. The invited artists are:
David Carlson
Mimi Frank
Sheep Jones
Hannale Lahti
Anne Marchand
Carol Reed
Suzanne Stryk
The winning responses to the open call will be revealed when the show opens.Theme: Oh! The joy!
The theme asked artists to reflect on a moment of pure joy. It was inspired by Lewis and Clark's expedition across the unchartered North American continent to reach the Pacific Ocean. After an arduous, two-year trek, William Lewis crested a hill, saw the vast body of water and cried, "The Ocean in view. Oh! The joy!" It was suggested that artists might explore that singular burst of relief and satisfaction after enduring a difficult task, the magic of being struck by something unexpected and delightful, or the sudden transformation that is experienced in sheer ebullience.
In fact, at the moment those words were uttered by Lewis, the expedition was actually facing an estuary of the Columbia River, not the open ocean. This presented another aspect of the theme for artists to consider: whether a moment of joy is 'valid' when it is later learned that the reason or impetus for the emotion was wrong or undeserved.
_________________________________________________________________________
The Athenaeum Gallery is open Thursday, Friday and Sunday from 12 to 4 pm, and Saturdays from 1 to 4 pm. It is closed on holidays. Admission is free.

Newest MPA Exhibitions Opening September 15th
*Opening Exhibition Reception, Thursday, September 15th, 7 – 9 pm*
Each of these three artists, in their own way, is concerned with the process of bringing things together. Painting abstractly and with varying ties to the landscape, Gregson, Magnolia and Treado all use paint to explore space and atmosphere as a vehicle for experiencing and entering into their work. Each artist also expresses an interest in converging paradoxes as a guiding force in their creative process. These include an ongoing dialog between reason and imagination, determination and chance, order and the unpredictable, mutation and adaption, and the instinctive and the intentional.
Borderlines: Paintings by Jenny Singleton | Atrium Gallery
These calligraphic abstract paintings reflect an interest in color, movement and pattern, drawing heavily on the artist’s background in Middle-Eastern language and culture. An interest in dreams and storytelling underlies the work as well, creating a framework for an exploration of the interplay between order and chaos.
Vertical: Paintings by Joel D’Orazio | Ramp Gallery
Joel D’Orazio exhibits a series of paintings executed on interior doors that blend vibrant color and buoyant shape to create dream-like atmospheric entryways. A former architect, D’Orazio taps into a deep knowledge of space, using complex layering techniques that highlight the fluidity of the pint and dissolve any central focus or subject matter.
