Preserve your art history and help future researchers learn about our region's art scene

Art is not the only product of a creative practice. Postcards, correspondence, catalogs and countless other items help tell the story of an artistic career and life. Join The People's Archive in The Reading Room as we explore the value of artists' archives with artist Aziza Gibson-Hunter. Learn about the Artist Vertical File Collection at DC Public Library. Bring your own ephemera to start your own artist vertical file and add your story to DC's art history. Preserve your history and help future researchers learn about our region's art scene.

This workshop is part of STABLEarts' presentation of The Reading Room, a Black reference library and destination for discovery based in Houston, Texas. Check out more programs marking The Reading Room's inaugural East Coast stop here.
