WallMountables 2022 has been an overwhelming success, and we could not be more proud of each and every one of the artists that displayed their work this year! This event is undoubtedly the highlight of our year and truly embodies our mission – to foster underrepresented artists in the greater Washington DC area.

Closing Reception - Saturday, July 16th, 4 - 6 pm, Studio Gallery, 2108 R St. NW, Washington, DC

The paintings in the exhibition, Avian Apocalypse, are part of an ongoing series titled Jeopardy, in which Kauffman lends her voice to at-risk, endangered and extinct species. Scientists warn of an impending avian apocalypse: birds are under threat of extinction due to climate change. Rising global temperatures and loss of habitat is forcing them to move further north.

Elsewhere depicts vulnerable birds in the District of Columbia searching for habitat and climate conditions elsewhere. Collision Course focuses on the plight of local migratory birds colliding with buildings at nighttime. Our opportunity to change our behavior to sustain their longevity is rapidly disappearing. Already gone, Vanquished memorializes extinct American species.

In the inaugural CAH juried exhibition, 33 DC artists seek to bring a sense of balance to an array of environmental injustices. Their art and their vision advocate awareness, mindfulness, consciousness, and stewardship, offering pathways towards personal partnership with our planet. We thank these artists for their commitment to illuminating the importance of nurturing and protecting the fragile beauty of the place we all call home.

Women’s Caucus for Art invites members of the national Women's Caucus for Art to participate in a virtual exhibit, "We Who Dream Know No Borders.” The exhibit calls us to interpret this and describe visually how we depict our hopes and dreams. We are looking for a wide variety of interpretations to this title. In this time of social upheaval, does this title inspire you to paint about injustice? Themes on immigration, women’s rights, or racial injustice can be expressed. Or the interpretation can be a platform to address your personal goals and how they are attained.

“I use organic geometry to give form to my love of nature and architecture. My work has been a long meditation, an effort to get past the surface aspects of reality, to find deeper meaning.”
