D.I.Y. in the District: Celebrating D.C.'s Artist-Run Spaces On view through December 7 | First Floor, Great Hall (East)
Produced in collaboration with Rhizome D.C. and other partners, this exhibit will transform the Great Hall of MLK Library into a celebration of the artist-run and D.I.Y. arts scene in the District from the 1970s through the present day. Through key examples such as d.c. space (1977-1991) and Rhizome (2016-present) and others, this dynamic installation will highlight the vital role that non-mainstream art spaces play in the larger arts world and our city today. This exhibition is curated by DC Public Library in collaboration with advisors and consulting lenders, including: Bill Warrell, Claudia Joseph, Cynthia Connolly, Claude L. Elliott, Aziza Gibson-Hunter, Tatev Sargsyan, Layne Garrett, and others.
