December Opening Reception

  • Touchstone Gallery 901 New York Avenue NW Washington D.C 20001 United States (map)

Explore the December exhibitions at Touchstone Gallery during this festive event! A perfect activity for after brunch and before the Downtown Holiday Market, join us in celebrating new art and artists as Touchstone Foundation for the Arts 2023-24 Fellows Brianne Anderson and Neville Barbour present their Fellowship culminating solo exhibitions at Touchstone Gallery!

Anderson's Fig Leaves is a collection of oil paintings that depict male statues from Anderson’s travels and museum visits. The title is a playful reference to the practice of using fig leaves to cover nudity in figurative work.

In Blessings in the Gray, Neville Barbour reflects on his feelings of uncertainty while growing up in a rapidly gentrifying DC. Using charcoal and mixed media portraiture, he explores how this ambivalence affected his experiences with race, religion, and gender. This exhibition is an attempt to process these moments. 

Plus, shop for perfect giftable small works and see what new Touchstone artists Jazz Williams, Jonathan Fuentes, Brittany Mona', Sue Canuteson, Deb Furey, Yoshiko Ratliff, Carolyn Wright, and Maryam Rassapour have in a group exhibition
