For the past 17 years, Zainab Salbi has worked with women survivors of war worldwide. She will discuss this work,
including how women survivors are now also the architects of peace in their communities and countries. She will point to
the gap between policy and practice, highlighting examples of how the normative framework for women, peace, and
security is not being experienced on the ground.

He has reported on the inner workings of the U.S. government, explained the global economy, and crawled under
the hood of the American automobile industry's downfall. Now, in his latest book, Don't Vote: It Just Encourages the
Bastards, acclaimed humorist P. J. O'Rourke, the H. L. Mencken Research Fellow at the Cato Institute, explores the
basis of our democracy and politics, and, with his trademark humor, takes a hard look at the people and
institutions that practice it.
Since 1970, O'Rourke has been reporting on the inner workings of the U.S. government and believes, now more
than ever, it is time for us to be on a "big fat political diet." O'Rourke will share his sharp insights on such
topics as the economy, the financial bailouts, and healthcare reform, as well as the overall state of American
politics. "You can remove morality from politics like you can remove the head from a chicken," he writes, "and
they'll both keep going — politics much longer than the chicken."
With his previous best-sellers including Parliament of Whores, Give War a Chance, Eat the Rich, The CEO of
the Sofa, On the Wealth of Nations, and Driving Like Crazy, this new addition to his canon reaffirms O'Rourke's
stature as "the funniest writer in America."

Opening Reception
Thursday, November 4, 5:00-8:00 p.m.
Epstein's signature "fresco" style of photography is created using a distinctive technique of layering
multiple images, including ancient sites and the richly encrusted walls of Rome to design a
painterly, textured picture, developing an illusion of shape and depth on a two dimensional surface.
She manages to portray visual ambiguities to allure the eye, with painted pillars, columns and
cupolas that cast depth into the viewer's space.
Rather than seven layers of paint applied to a plastered wall, Epstein's fresco series may use seven
or more layers of photographs taken in old world cities of today, dissolving into elaborate displays
of ethereal architecture and spectral visions of what lies beneath the surface.
Although over the last decade Epstein has exhibited widely in Europe this will be her debut in the
U.S. Some of Italian exhibitions include in Rome at the American Academy, the American
Embassy, the Residence of the Belgian Ambassador, John Cabot University and Al Vicario 31, and
in Umbria at the museum, Il Chiostro Boccarini Rome Luxury Suites has a permanent display of
her work at their newest hotel, Babuino 181, next to Piazza del Popolo, where Epstein's
Photography is featured in each of their suites and lobbies. Architect Fabrizio Magnaghi is using
over 25 of her photographs, including the large-scale fresco images in frames up to six feet tall. Her
sepia images of architectural details and fountains will be displayed at the hotels Mario dei Fiori, 37
and Margutta, 54 in Rome.
Susan Calloway Fine Arts specializes in contemporary art by local, regional, and international artists, antique American
and European oil paintings, and a carefully chosen selection of 17th-19th century prints. The gallery also specializes in
conservation framing using archival-quality materials and techniques, and in traditional French mat decoration.

"The Fate of the Earth Revisited: Nuclear Dangers Then and Now"
Lecture and Panel Discussion
Speakers: Jonathan Schell, Frida Berrigan (New America Foundation, New York, NY), and Philipp Gassert
(University of Augsburg)
Jonathan Schell began his career at The New Yorker, where he was a staff writer from 1967 until 1987. His
bestseller on the nuclear question, The Fate of the Earth (1982), which first appeared in three parts in The New
Yorker, raised public awareness about the dangers of the nuclear arms race. The book was hailed by The New York
Times as “an event of profound historical moment” and was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book
Award, and the National Critics Award.
Schell has taught at many universities, including Princeton, Emory, New York University, Wesleyan University, and
Yale. His articles on the nuclear question have appeared in The Nation, Foreign Affairs, and Harper’s Magazine. His
most recent book is The Seventh Decade: The New Shape of Nuclear Danger (2007).

Watergate Gallery
presents
Situated in the Atlantic Ocean approximately 13 miles off the coast of Rhode Island, Block Island known for its
rough seas, rugged coastline and shipwrecks. In contrast to its reputation, the ocean was peaceful during my visit
this summer, as if the seas were calmed by the Triton’s trumpet shell.
Enthused by the 19th century, Armenian born painter, Ivan Aivazovsky, who is best known for his luminous
marine and coastal scenes, I wanted to give my seascape photos the quality of a painting. To photograph, I used a
neutral density filter greatly reducing the bright daylight and exposing frames for up to 30 seconds. The long
exposure time created a sereneness, softening the otherwise tumultuous ocean. The unyielding rocks became visual
anchors amidst the drifting seawater.
To further promote the effect of a painting, the photographs were treated in a unique way. I have coated both the
archival pigment and lambda prints with encaustic medium to achieve a one of a kind texture. and to give the
photos additional permanence.

Since 2007, Matthew Black has documented the outrageous and provocative social activist
group, The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. Members of this international Sisterhood take on
the identities of 21st century nuns, dedicated to "promulgating universal joy, expiating
stigmatic guilt, and serving the community." Far more than street performers or typical drag
queens, they use the art of drag to raise awareness for the LGBT community, educate about
safe sex & AIDS, raise money for local non-profits, and advocate for human rights.

Studio view with elements for dinner table/what a night © Jerry Mischak, courtesy Industry Gallery
Includes 36-ft. long Table with Objects & Twelve Reconstructed Chairs Wrapped in Colored Tape
Washington, DC (October 26, 2010) - Industry Gallery will host din-din, an exhibition of new work by Jerry
Mischak, opening November 6, 2010, 6-8 PM, and running through December 18, 2010. Mischak, a senior critic at
the Rhode Island School of Design, visiting professor at Brown University and instructor at the University of
Rhode Island, will exhibit one large-scale installation and twelve chairs, all unique prototypes. The installation
piece dinner table/such a night is a 36-foot long table with 40 plates, 80 pieces of flat ware, 45 glasses, 25 empty
wine bottles, and 100 empty water bottles, all wrapped in more than 3000 yards of orange vinyl tape. The
exhibition's 12 chairs are found objects reconstructed via sanding, cutting with the addition of plastic, Styrofoam
and wood, and all encased in colored vinyl tape.
Mischak uses tape as a unifying element, or as he says, "a skin that covers a number of objects into a common
form." The tape appeals both for its color and as a bonding material. He rarely ever works with sketches and
never with a computer. His works are developed through trial and error and a sculptural process of adding and
subtracting. Mischak says each piece "develops in real time and real space" and explains that with the chairs he
is reinventing and redefining how each function with the body, likening the result to cover versions of well-
known songs created by jazz musicians.
Speaking of the exhibition, Mischak said dinner table/such a night "evokes the remnants and memories of a grand
dinner. Who was there? Who did you sit next to? What were the conversations? What was the food like? Did it get
out of hand? Did you say the wrong things? Did you move ahead with your career? The chairs are separate
thoughts from the enormous table, although as chairs they can relate."
About Jerry Mischak
Mischak grew up in Newark, New Jersey, in a house that he says had his first two studios - the dining room and
front porch his mother converted into a beauty parlor, and a dirt floor basement where he built monsters and
made movies with an 8mm Bell and Howell camera. These were the places he could be alone and creative. "I
once made a figure out of wood wrapped it with strips of white cloth, put it in a metal box and buried it in the
back yard. It was after to my first viewing of The Mummy with Boris Karloff, my mom got worried she thought I
was getting a little crazy. It was a time and world of fantasies, and performance while building the objects that
helped create these stories."
"I feel that my work comes out of those early exploits and the industrial urban sections of Jersey where I would
travel as a kid and later as a teen. Where the bridges embrace the port and the factory buildings."
Mischak cites an affinity for the work of Jorge Pardo, Ernesto Neto and Franz West for "their ability and vision to
cross lines of sculpture, architecture and design." He also admires the work of Tejo Remy & René Veenhuizen,
saying "to me they are always on the edge, their concepts are genuine, clear and sometimes humorous."
Mischak received his BFA from Rhode Island School of Design and MFA from the University of Wisconsin-
Madison. He has exhibited his work at the Palmer Museum, Penn State University; Cypress College Art Gallery,
Cypress, CA; Islip Art Museum; Lehman College Art Gallery, NY; Pavel Zoubok Gallery, NY; Jim Kempner Fine Art,
New York; the Boston Center for the Arts; and, Diverse Works Gallery, Houston. Mischak is also a recipient of the
Howard Foundation Fellowship and Rhode Island State Council of the Arts Fellowship.
Industry Gallery, based in the Atlas/H Street Arts District of Washington, DC, specializes in 21st century design.
The gallery regularly holds single artist exhibitions representing a broad spectrum of design trends by
international artists who create functional art from industrial materials. The gallery is open Wednesday -
Saturday, 11AM - 5PM, and by appointment.

November 6 - December 18, 2010
David Ellis Shepard Fairey Swoon José Parlá Romon Yang (Rostarr)
Chris Mendoza James Marshall (Dalek) Gaia
José Parlá, Layered Days, 2009. Mixed media, collage, oil, acrylic, plaster on wood panel. 4 x 6 ft. Detail.
Street/Studio 2.0 showcases the multiple practices of artists who work across a continuum of sites and
mediums that include street mural works, studio works in all mediums, gallery and museum exhibitions, digital
production tools, and documentation and distribution on the Web. The artists’ works--in any medium and
wherever they appear--form a dialog with the city and engage us with responses to the energy, conflicts, and
joys of urban life.
Our exhibition last year, Street/Studio, showed how artists working in this new continuity of practice understand
their works as always being site-specific, made for the spaces that frame them, regardless of the cultural
categories defining where art should appear.
Artists associated with this movement have not only broken down walls but have also removed the dichotomy
between the real and digital worlds. With proliferating photo-sharing sites, artists’ blogs, and aggregators like the
Wooster Collective, the Web has become a documentary virtual wall, a global city, a real-time art archive, a
community studio, and an instant messaging system for artists. Software tools for composing images to be
output in other media have become as integral to studio practice as the musician’s mixing board and multiple
digital sound sources.
Street/Studio 2.0 further advances a broader view of art today as artists now develop their work in a continuity of
practice spanning works in all forms and locations, digital media and software, and the Web. Street/Studio 2.0
presents leading artists who have been innovators in new categories of art, creatively recoding the recombinant
DNA of culture into new forms that respond to urban life.
David Ellis is one of the founders of the Barnstormers collective, and he works in many forms that extend his
background in music and painting. His paintings, murals, and motion-painting videos capture the rhythms and
visual energy of jazz, hip-hop, and graffiti, and his kinetic sculptures convert found materials and repurposed
acoustic instruments into programmable motion and sound installations. Street/Studio 2.0 will feature Ellis’s new
HD film, Animal, a 9.5 minute documentation of a six-week motion-painting performance. David Ellis lives works
in Brooklyn, NY. Further info.
Shepard Fairey is known internationally as a leader in street art and many forms of post-Pop composition,
graphic design, and printmaking. He gained wide recognition in the early 1990s with his Obey Giant campaign,
and in 2008 he created the iconic Obama “Hope” image that swept the globe. His hand-stenciled and collaged
version of the Obama Hope portrait is now in the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery, acquired from Irvine
Contemporary in 2008. His traveling Retrospective, Supply and Demand: The Art of Shepard Fairey ( 2009-
2010), originated at the Boston Institute of Contemporary Art. Further info.
José Parlá is internationally known for his multi-layered paintings that combine the direct hand-work of graffiti
and city walls with calligraphy, abstract expressionist gestures, and collaged fragments city life. His works are
urban memory documents, palimpsests of the layers of time, history, and experience in dense urban
environments. His paintings have appeared in major exhibitions in London, New York, Tokyo, and Paris. José
Parlá lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. Further info.
Swoon, Three Girls, 2010. Wood block print, acrylic, paper Shepard Fairey, LP Album Cover, 2010. HPM edition of 8.
cut out. Detail. 12 x 12 in.
Swoon is known world-wide for her visually striking woodcut prints placed as interventions on city streets as well
as for her gallery and museum installations that combine printmaking, 3-D cut-outs, paintings, and sculptures
from found and repurposed materials. Major exhibitions include installations at the Yerba Buena Center for the
Arts, San Francisco, Deitch Projects, NY, P.S. 1 and the Museum of Modern Art, NY. She is a graduate of the
Pratt Institute and lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. Further info.
Romon Yang (Rostarr) is a multi-disciplinary artist, painter, calligrapher and filmmaker living and working in
Brooklyn, New York. Early in his career he produced work in both the art and graphic design spheres, blurring
the lines between the two. He has done collaborative projects with the Barnstormers collective and with
musicians and film makers. His recent film, Kill the Ego, a collaboration with Soundwalk, has been shown
internationally, including the Centre Pompidou Hors Piste cinema series (2010). Rostarr is a graduate of the
School of Visual Arts in New York, and lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. Further info.

Chris Mendoza was born in Nicaragua and combines a love of the folk culture of his native country with the
chaos and complexity of modern cities. His drawings, paintings, and collage compositions form his own visual

James Marshall (Dalek) has been been constantly developing his post-Pop painting style that abstracts graphic
lines and color from street art, cartoons and animation, and the kaleidoscopic visual density of the city. He was a
studio assistant for Takashi Murakami’s in 2001. Marshall has been in many exhibitions in New York, Paris,
London, Los Angeles and with Irvine Contemporary in Washington, DC. He is a graduate of the School of the Art
Institute of Chicago, and, now lives and works in Raleigh, NC.
Gaia has quickly become recognized for his placement of prints and paintings on the streets in major cities.
Drawing his imagery from archetypal animals, personal portraits, and art history, Gaia constructs linocut images
and drawings that intervene in urban spaces for reflections on the human condition in nature and history. His
studio projects combine collage, linocut prints, and painting, and have been exhibited in Brooklyn, New York,
Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Washington, DC. Gaia lives and works in Baltimore, MD, and Brooklyn, NY,
and is a student at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore.

In every ward of Washington, DC, citizens of all ages and backgrounds are tackling a global problem with
grassroots solutions. With each initiative, locals are making a positive change in their own backyard. You’ll
meet the brains behind these dynamic initiatives including the Capitol Hill Energy Co-op and Green
DMV and discuss a vision for a sustainable District with Councilmember Tommy Wells. Don’t miss this
inspiring talk and reception at the fabulous retro-modern Capitol Skyline Hotel. Arrive via Metro: Navy Yard
Station
Councilmember Tommy Wells, Ward 6, is a champion of transit, the environment, and the walkable city of
lively neighborhoods that we hope D.C. will become. Councilmember Wells praised the efforts of the Anacostia
River cleanup and Protection Initiative placing a 5-cent fee on plastic and paper bags at many stores in the
district, which took effect on January 1, 2010. The measure was put in place to significantly help reduce the
number of plastic bags that pollute the Anacostia River- pollution that makes up nearly half of the trash in the
river’s tributaries.
Cynthia Hartley is the Executive Director of the Capitol Hill Energy Co-op, which addresses
renewable energy and environmental issues that are of concern to neighbors in the Capitol Hill Area of
Washington, D.C. Hartley previously served as a board member and chair of the non-profit Water for People
from 2005-2010. This organization helps people in developing countries have access to safe drinking water and
sanitation. She supports the development of locally sustainable drinking water resources, sanitation facilities,
and hygiene education programs in poverty-stricken areas around the world.
Rhon Hayes is the co-founder of Green DMV, which helps people out of poverty by promoting
clean energy and green jobs in low-income communities across America. He wants to help influence policy
changes in the Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia region (DMV) that will create sustainable green job
growth. By focusing on environmental awareness in the community, Hayes believes we can transform the
disadvantaged small business community by changing our environmental values. Dubbed Washingtons ―Green
Giants‖ along with the other co-founder Philip O’Neal, Rhon Hayes was the recipient of the 2010 Green Award,
which honors those who protect the environment and teach others about the importance of eco-friendly living.

Photographs of Argentina's National Parks
As Part of Argentina's Bicentennial Celebration - New Exhibition Features 20 Photographs
from 12-year Project Covering 12 National Parks

(corner of Q Street & New Hampshire Avenue)
This is an exhibition premiering 20 photographs of Argentina's national parks by Diego Ortiz Mugica featured
in the new book Parques Nacionales Argentinos (The National Parks of Argentina). The exhibition, part of the
celebration of Argentina's bicentennial, will be open to the public November 10-11, 1:00-5:00 p.m., and
November 12, 1:00-3:00 p.m. Kaller Fine Arts will have a large selection of Mugica's works available including
images from The National Parks, Fly Fishing Moments, The Geography of the Body and other series.
In the book's prologue, Argentine President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner celebrates "the extraordinary value
and enormous richness of our land, our nature reserves, and our diversity." The artist's goal in the national
parks project, on which he spent twelve years and traversed one third of Argentina's 36 parks, was to create
"perfectly clear images where you can feel the stones, the sand, the trees and perceive the wind and the cold
... to show the natural beauty" of the parks. Among his favorite sites, the Iguazu Falls, Glaciares, and
Patagonia North.
Mugica, an active photographer for more than three decades, studied for three years with Pedro uis Raota at
the Escuela Superior de Arte Fotográfico (beginning in 1980), and also participated in workshops with Ulf
Sjöstedt, then director of Victor Hasselblad Company magazine. Subsequently he studied large format
photography with Esteban Marco, thanks to a Foundation Antorchas scholarship. In 1999 and 2001, he
participated in two separate workshops with John Sexton (who worked with Ansel Adams for the last eight
years of Adams' life). Mugica employs the zone system developed by Ansel Adams and Fred Archer in the
late 1930s and speaks of his artistic inspirations as a trinity, with "Ansel Adams, John Sexton and Edward
Weston as the Father, Son and Holy Spirit", respectively. He also cites as inspiration Richard Avedon for
portraiture and Robert Mapplethorpe for the "effective" way he "took pictures of bodies and flowers."
His work is in numerous public collections, among them Argentina's Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes (National
Museum of Fine Arts), Banco Santa Cruz (Santa Cruz Bank), and Fundación ARCADE (ARCADE
Foundation). Private collections include Argentine President Mrs. Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, Juan
Cambaso, president of the art fair ARTE BA, Infanta Cristina, Duchess of Palma de Mallorca, Michael
Cowdray (UK), Carole Bouquet (FR), and many others.
Mugica divides his time between a house in Buenos Aires and a home Patagonia. He spends four to five
months of the year at the Patagonia house, which he has owned for 15 years, and describes the environment
there as "another way of living ... looking at the Limay River is like getting a massage." He would spend more
time there, but in a nod to life's practicalities, he noted: "God is everywhere, but he does business in Buenos
Aires."
The exhibition is being held in conjunction with FotoWeek DC, November 6-13, 2010.

Energy entirely from renewable sources, accessible to everyone, affordable and clean. Utopia? Not quite.
Germany is expected to exceed its target of reaching 30% power from renewable energies by 2020.
But how far away is an energy economy that is based on 100% renewable energies? Is there a tradeoff between
local generation and regional integration? And is the way forward one of energy independence or a stronger
collaboration among states, regions and countries? Please join us for this transatlantic discussion.

Time Given
is a series of Joshua Cogan's more recent portraiture from around the world. The images explore the idea of how people deal with the time
they have here on earth -- how people shape time and how it shapes them. The images draw heavily from the environments in which they
were taken. From East Asia and the West Indies to the Gulf Coast and DC, Cogan's work ties back to his ongoing theme of plurality and
identity.

Adrián Salgueiro
He was born in Mar del Plata, Buenos Aires in 1967. He graduated at the Escuela de Arte Fernando
Fader. He had experiences with illustration and graphic design. In 1991 he became involved in
photography: courses and workshops with Ataúlfo Pérez Aznar, Eduardo Gil and Gianni Mestichelli,
to whom he was an assistant. In 1997 he founded, together with other photographers, a self-
managed workshop on expression, which is still working. Towards the end of 1999 he published,
with Paula Burd, Estampas, a limited edition of 80 photographs in little boxes, presented at the
Centro Cultural Recoleta’s auditorium and at Les soirées du Festival Voies Off des Rencontres d’Arles
(France).
Diego Grünstein
He was born in 1969 in the city of Buenos Aires, where he lives and works as a freelance
photographer and props assistant in advertising films. While he was studying Advertising in 1990, his
interest in photography, which he had since his childhood, became more intense, and he started
focusing mainly on the use of classical cameras, composition and black & white lab work, to move on
to work as a photographer and in photo labs. With time, he started meeting other contemporary
photographers to discuss their works, which boosted his work with color. A few years ago he started
working mainly with a 1952 Rolleiflex, and also made some forays into digital photography.
Guillermo Ueno
Born in November, 1968, he is a photographer since 1990. He studied at the Escuela de Arte
Fotográfico de Avellaneda and Esteban Marco’s study. In 1995, he started working as Alberto
Goldenstein’s assistant. He chairs a workshop on Photo Edition at the Centro Cultural Rojas of the
University de Buenos Aires since 1999. Since 1992, he holds regular exhibitions of photography and
video at Galería Ruth Benzacar, Belleza y Felicidad, Palatina, Catena, VVV, Fundación Klemm,
MALBA, MAMBA, MACRO, Centro Cultural Recoleta, Rojas, Médanos, Museo de arte moderno de
Mendoza, Museo de Bellas artes Lincoln, MAC Santiago de Chile, MAC Niteroi Brasil, the Argentine
Consulate in New York, Printed matter and Hogar collection (New York), and Vasistas Galerie
(France).
Nicolás Trombetta
He was born in Buenos Aires in 1972. His relationship with photography started in 1991, when he
entered the Escuela Panamericana de Arte (Pan-American Art School). In 1992 he entered the
Escuela de Arte Fotográfico de Avellaneda (Avellaneda School of Photographic Art), where he
studied for two years while he took pictures of babies for a family photography studio. In 1994 he
attended Alberto Goldenstein’s work.

JOSHUA TAYLOR was born in New Jersey and continued his downward trajectory in hellish locales
in up-state New York and North Carolina before honing his art skills at Pratt Institute. Upon earning
his degree, he traversed the country, from California to Vermont, pursuing his art career. His fine
art has appeared in galleries in LA, NY, Europe, and the Philippines, and has also been featured in
various publications worldwide. Taylor's current body of work focuses on the history, myths and
legends of his "Gastonian Multiverse", an odd ancient doppleganger reality where the laws of
physics and the very fabric of time and space are falling apart at the seams. He currently resides in
Baltimore where he paints, pays for parking, and works on a series of graphic novels and web
comics entitled Bird & Girl.

"Reflexions"
"Reflexions" is the newest series of works by this collaborative team and represents their fourth
solo exhibition at the Marsha Mateyka Gallery.
"Reflexions are inkblots of oppositions. Each of us wrote one of two contrasting words, vertically
using two different ink colors, on facing halves of a small piece of paper, then folded and pressed
them together. Although those original blotted forms have been scanned, greatly enlarged and
output as archival pigment prints on watercolor paper, they remain unaltered from their initial
chance configurations. All imagery emerged serendipitously, beyond our control or intervention,
purely a result of the random mingling of letterforms, fluid inks and viewer perceptions."

Parish Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition entitled, “Place Names” by painter, Ari Post. This exhibition will open with a
reception from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. on Friday, November 19th and will run thru November 30, 2010.
“Place Names” are the names given to or held by a geographical location, as a town, city, village, etc.
”The quality of a people’s history is written in the names of the places they have left behind; in the names of villages and
townships, of the hills and misplaced stones. For my history, little is left in the places themselves. My great grandparents on
both sides were born in small villages scattered throughout what is now Latvia , Poland and Russia , almost all of which were
wiped out over the last century. When even these scraps of history are lost, what becomes of the ancestral traditions and
beliefs? And what do they then mean? With cultures so violently uprooted and jostled, what is there to look back to?
Now, these paintings: Are they icons, or are they beggars? Do they close their eyes with their will bent toward God, or are they
just tired, resting, deep in thought? It doesn’t much matter. In my mind there is little difference. I wanted, despite the length of
time and the muddying of waters, to dwell on some faint image of lives past, and to give them back the places where they had
once lived; to allow the traditions and beliefs, now diluted and perhaps fundamentally lost, to linger momentarily. With such a
violent extermination of peoples and traditions, I do not know what will live on.” - Ari Post
“Ari is a trained draftsman and it shows in the work, inspired by contemplation of his Jewish heritage, a recent trip to Israel and a
search for universal spirituality. His paintings are 'old school'—stripped of flash, subject matter irony and mixed media techniques
of many painters showing today. The work is straight oil paining: pigment, linseed oil, turpentine and board, all applied with
earnest, grit and hard labor. The gnarled hands and contemplative faces in the pictures are painted in direct manner and
modeled to volume using interlocking and flowing flat planes accented by strong graphite or etched lines. These works resonate
with a viewer familiar with expressionist work done before 1940, yet the style is unique and surprising to the viewer. This series of
paintings allows a first look into the work of a young ambitious painter with unlimited potential and a deep reservoir of talent
that will no doubt produce much more work.” -David Richardson, painter
Ari Post is a painter living and working in the DC area. Studying illustration and design at Virginia Commonwealth University
in Richmond , he graduated in May of 2009 and came to Washington to find anything the art world had to offer. As gallery
assistant at the Aaron Gallery , and then as journalist and now editor for the local Georgetowner newspaper, he has continued
to pursue a career in the arts. This most recent body of work explores his own genealogy and the state of religion in this
country.
Parish Gallery primarily, but not exclusively, represents contemporary visual artists of significance from Africa and the African Diaspora. In selecting art and artists,
Parish Gallery exercises high ethical, curatorial and market selection standards, catering to the spirit of social preservation and regeneration in collecting the art. Parish
Gallery is open Tuesday thru Saturday from noon to 6:00 PM or by appointment.

My First Time features four actors in hysterical and heartbreaking stories about first sexual
experiences written by real people. In 1998, a decade before blogging began, a website was
created that allowed people to anonymously share their own true stories about their First Times.
The website became an instant phenomenon as over 40,000 stories poured in from around the
globe that were silly, sweet, absurd, funny, heterosexual, homosexual, shy, sexy and everything
in between. And now, these true stories and all of the unique characters in them are brought to
life by four actors in this acclaimed 90 minute play. myfirsttimetheplaydc.com

The America Project: utopia
Part 1 of an ambitious black and white photography project by this
CalArts graduate including 36 images documenting road trips taken
by the artist across the country over the past several years. Images
capture cultural markers of American history such as the Biosphere in
Oracle, Arizona, Ponce de Leon's Fountain of Youth in St. Augustine,
Florida, the duct tape "x" marking the spot of Kennedy's
assassination at Dealey Plaza in Dallas, TX. "utopia", the exhibition,
documents the highest and lowest of the collective American dream.

Opportunit ies
National Urban Fellows' leadership development program is a rigorous, 14-month, full-time graduate degree
program comprising two semesters of academic course work and a nine-month mentorship assignment. Fellows
receive a $25,000 stipend, health insurance, a book allowance, relocation and travel reimbursement, and full
payment of tuition, in addition to their ongoing personal and professional development.
The program culminates in a Master of Public Administration (MPA) degree from the City of New York's Bernard
M. Baruch College, School of Public Affairs. During the mentorship, Fellows complete course work via distance
learning. An MPA degree is awarded to Fellows upon completion of all academic and program requirements.
Following graduation, Fellows become part of a prestigious group of well over 1,000 multicultural, multiracial
alumni who are graduates of the National Urban Fellows program and who are effecting positive changes in
communities nationally and internationally. Individually and collectively, they are helping to create an equitable
and just society while serving as role models for future generations.
Fellows apply their expertise in the public sector, contributing their newly acquired leadership skills to public
service for the betterment of their communities and the nation. They return to their former or new occupations
more experienced in public policy decision-making and are better prepared to make a strong commitment to
equity and social justice, thereby fulfilling the mission of the program. Finally, Fellows give back to the
organization that supported them, recognizing that their ongoing commitment, engagement and involvement
and/or annual giving will help to secure the future of National Urban Fellows.

I hope you will continue to support our efforts as a volunteer, and we have a new Mock Interview Day on July 13th (downtown
Washington, D.C., 6:30pm - 9:00pm) that we're offering to individuals who are applying to participate in our Fall
program. Volunteers will conduct three mock interviews in different interviewer „roles‟ - CEO, Line Manager,
HR Manager – to give the experience of different types of interviews. Volunteers then give feedback about their
performance and their resume. You can RSVP to volunteer at this event by responding to this email!
If you're interested in helping us with our current challenge campaign to raise $100,000 by the end of June (last day of the
campaign today!), then you can text the word ‘partners’ to 20222 now to donate $10 to support our incredible programs. An
