Artists & Makers Studios Presents
“Women Artists of the DMV”
Curated by Florencio Lennox Campello
(Rockville, MD) – Artists & Makers Studios is thrilled to host the largest ever-curated fine arts multi-venue show in the U.S. coming this Fall to 18+ art venues around the Greater Washington, DC capital region as curator Florencio Lennox Campello surveys over 500+ female artists actively working around the DMV. The exhibit will run from September 4th through October 29th at Artists & Makers Studios with an opening on October 3rd from 5-8pm. Featuring the work of over 500+ women artists from the Greater Washington, DC capital region, this massive survey exhibition is curated by Florencio Lennox Campello, whose curatorial background extends to over 200 exhibitions over the past four decades. “This region is not only home to some of the best art museums in the world, dozens of commercial art galleries, non-profit art spaces, alternative art venues, embassy art spaces, and fine arts organizations, but it also supports and fertilizes some of the most unique and creative visual art scenes in the nation,” notes Campello. Why this show? To survey the key, established female artists of the capital region, mid-career artists, and just as important, identify the emerging female artists who can benefit from this large-scale exposure. All genres of the visual arts, to include public art, will be showcased and each selected artist will have one work selected by the curator. Enjoy a Pop-Up with Naan Pocen, the sculptural work of Francis Maduka Uduh in studio 11, along with nineteen Gallery 209 Member Artists exhibiting their latest work. Open Studios building-wide will welcome visitors to visit and learn. Shop and support local working artists, makers, and professionals.
