"This exhibition explores how nightlife shapes art, identity, and community across Washington, DC."
In a city defined by ambition, nightlife offers an escape into connection, celebration, and raw expression. Bringing together the work of eight artists from across the region, the exhibition features painting, photography, sculpture, and mixed media. The works reflect on the lasting influence of the city's cultural landscape. Together, they consider the clubs, living rooms, and streets where art, conversation, and social change so often begin.
Featuring Dennis Akaeze, Rob Balsewich, Diego Borgsdorf Fuenzalida, Jermaine "Jet" Carter, Bran Cherie, Nate Langston Palmer, Nayila Moore, and Kendall Robinson. Curated by Sakina Ahmad.
Works are on view now and available for viewing at Shanklin Hall.
