The Georgetown Arts Show, hosted by Citizens Association of Georgetown, kicks off at the House of Sweden Thursday, Feb 12., during an evening reception, 6 to 9 p.m., and runs through Feb. 15.
The Georgetown Arts chair Laura-Anne Tiscornia has two of the largest pieces of art work — 40-by-40 inches — at the exhibit. Besides paintings, the show has both glass and mixed-media pieces. This year, the exhibit has one sculpture.
”Every year is surprisingly different and that is what is most interesting and exciting about this exhibit,” Tiscornia said. ”The show attracts new artists as well as reoccurring artists and to see all the different pieces come together and play off one another is remarkable.”
The arts show include art from a unique collection of artists. Some artists are young professionals while others are lifelong learners or teachers. A few of the artists exhibit nationally in other galleries. Attendees are in for a treat to see the vast artistic talent that Georgetown offers.
During Saturday and Sunday, there will be several Artist Talks. At 2 p.m. on Saturday, Peggy Sparks, owner of Artist’s Proof, a gallery on Wiscosin Avenue, will discuss the art scene in Washington, D.C., and highlight the art work displayed.
Artist Guy Fairlamb, Dariush Vaziri and Sherry Kaskey will be talking Sunday at noon. In the afternoon, you will also be able to listen to Andrey Bogoslowsky, Jane Lepscky and Ross Ruot during the Artist Talks.
