With his new series of luminous D.C. paintings, artist BRADLEY STEVENS shows us how familiar city scenes are rendered breathtaking and magical, bathed in light:
Of the myriad and obvious reasons D.C. is such a wonderful place to live––the vibrant artistic and cultural life, the monuments, the neighborhoods, the Potomac River and Rock Creek––the city’s unique quality of light is often overlooked. Rare among the world’s great capitals, D.C. isn’t dwarfed by monoliths blocking sunlight to the web of life below. We who live, work and play here can witness the ever-changing light show that plays upon the city’s architecture and surrounding landscape. It is this beautiful illumination of some of our city’s most treasured spots that I attempt to capture in these paintings.

Hours: Monday- Friday 8am-7pm, Sat. 8am-4pm

From New Orleans, LA, ANNE MARCHAND has been surrounded by color her whole life, it is no coincidence that her painting’s focus is on the interplay of colors. Initially inspired by the Hubble telescope images of outer space, her paintings emulate the same energy from nebulae and galaxies. While the paint flows organically, Marchand has a geometric foundation to her paintings. “These works invite the visual vibration in the eye of the viewer, along with their sense of wonder, introspection, and imagination.” Anne Marchand has been a force in the DC art scene since the 1970s and currently has an exhibit at the International Museum of Art & Science in McAllen, TX.

Support Zenith Community Arts Foundation (ZCAF)
|
|
Zenith Community Arts Foundation (ZCAF) is currently seeking support
for continuing its workforce training in an economically depressed community in Washington, DC. We are now in the second year of the Pre-Apprenticeship Carpentry Training (PACT) program at Ballou STAY Opportunity Academy in Ward 8. We are excited about the changes that our program is making in our students’ lives. One of last year’s students was so successful that he was promoted to paid Assistant to our Lead Carpentry Instructor.

Our PACT program stands out by offering tuition-free training and weekly stipends. We are passionate about fostering a new generation of carpenters through our innovative Mobile Woodshop, which functions as an experiential classroom on wheels. It is a specially outfitted box truck that carries instructors, tools, and materials to the school. Our vision is to disrupt poverty cycles by providing students with technical and soft (employability) skills for jobs in the building trades. “Carpentry is the number one endangered trade in this country according to the National Association of Home Builders,” said Margery Goldberg, ZCAF founder and Director.
Beyond its PACT program, ZCAF maintains its long-standing commitment to artistic community enrichment for all DC residents. Using the Mobile Woodshop, ZCAF showcases how-to skills for an intergenerational audience at local festivals and other events. These hands-on, physical activities counterbalance the widespread virtual technologies of today’s digital age.
As 2022 draws to a close, we at ZCAF hope you can lend a hand by donating to our unique Mobile Woodshop initiatives. All contributions are tax deductible.
All contributions to sustain our vital programs are appreciated.
For $25,000 or more, your name can be placed on the side of the Mobile Woodshop.
Hundreds of viewers will see your name associated with this unique cause.
All contributors will be recognized in our Newsletter and website.
