5 Art Shows To Enjoy This February

Share:

February 6, 2023 @ 11:00am | Matt Byrne

As always, there’s plenty happening in February in the D.C. art scene, so we put together this helpful rundown of five of the best art events, from solo retrospectives to multimedia group shows.

“Holy Inventions” at Addison/Ripley Fine Art
This group show curated by D.C.-based artist Isabel Manalo features work from five artists united by “their corporeal humanity and existence as inventors of artwork that speaks volumes to an individual truth.” From geometric abstraction to more organic forms, the pieces on display at Holy Inventions will get your head swimming with ideas and inspire plenty of conversations. Free. Tuesday through Saturday 11 a.m. – 4 p.m.1670 Wisconsin Ave. NW, DC; addisonripleyfineart.com // @addisonripley

 

“Sequence” at Touchstone Gallery
This is a juried show that came together through an internationally-reaching open call for work inspired by or created with technology. The deliberately open-ended prompt resulted in a diverse collection of work from nearly four dozen artists from around the world. These pieces touch on a huge variety of topics, and can be experienced in a variety of ways, IRL in a traditional gallery setting, online and during a series of live performances and video-based art screenings occurring throughout the month. Free. Wednesday through Sunday 12-5 p.m.901 New York Ave. NW, DC; touchstonegallery.com // @touchstonewdc

“Raya Bodnarchuk: A Family” at Gallery Neptune & Brown
D.C. art scene fixture and DMV native, Raya Bodnarchuk’s career-spanning show at Gallery Neptune & Brown features a variety of her trademark whimsical sculptures and collage work from across decades of creation. Her work explores the “intertwining of art and life,” inspiring all who encounter her pieces. Free. Wednesday through Saturday 12-7 p.m.1530 14th St. NW, DC; galleryneptunebrown.com // @galleryneptunebrown

“The Rhythm and Colors of Haiti” at Watergate Gallery & Frame
In honor of Black History Month, the Watergate Gallery has organized an exhibition of paintings by Haitian artists. The show, featuring work by artists like HR Brasil, Jean Adrien Seide and Anne-Isabelle Bonifassi, hopes to showcase the art scene of “a country so rich in culture and history.” The organizers will donate a portion of all proceeds to Food For The Poor’s feeding programs in Haiti. Free. Monday through Friday 11 a.m. – 6 p.m.; Saturday 12-5 p.m.2552 Virginia Ave. NW, DC; watergategalleryframedesign.com // @watergategallery

“Stevens Jay Carter: Modern Master” at Honfleur Gallery
Acclaimed D.C. artist Luis Del Valle curates a posthumous collection of work by Stevens Jay Carter, who passed in 2021. Carter’s large body of work spans a variety of mediums and styles, from sculpture to painting to decor, infused with social and political themes that reflect changes in American culture over the years. Free. Thursday through Saturday, 12-5 p.m.1241 Good Hope Rd. SE, DC; honfleurgallerydc.com // @honfleurgallery
