Custom Vinyl Show
D.I.Y. (Do It Yourself) Vinyls are the blank canvas of collectible toys. Starting as a lifeless shape, artists conjureup characters with their creative tools, transforming thesefigures into unique toys bearing the mark of their creator.While most shows that feature these artists D.I.Y.s showseveral artists versions of the same given blank toy, thiscustomized vinyl show will turn the tables by highlightingthe work of this mediums leading artists with various toys.G40 will team up with Vinyl Artist, Sket-One to show thecountless possibilities explored by these artists; fromsimply painting the figures such as KidRobots Munny, tomorphing the collectibles beyond their vinyl beginnings.
Skateboard Art Show Skateboards have long been the means of expression for the skateboarding community.With close ties to the beginnings of the newbrow art scene in California, the artistry seenon skatedecks as far back as the 1970sstrongly influenced members of thismovement. For this reason we pay respectto this community by exploring the manypossibilities of the skatedeck as work of art.Used in various media, from illustration tothree-dimensional sculpture, the board is theconnecting theme and protagonist
throughout these pieces.

Wheatpaste Show Wheat paste is an adhesive made of vegetable starch and water that has been
used for centuries as a means of adheringpaper to a surface. The unique quality of thispaste is its ability to stick while still allowingfor peeling off without ripping. Historically,the adhesive was used by activists andvarious subculture proponents for flypostpropaganda and for advertisement posters.In the Street Art culture this paste is used asa means of adhering works, previouslycreated on paper, to a city wall. For thisreason, this art form is known as
wheatpasting. We will exhibit the work of artists pushing the envelope in this evolvingart form.
Stencil Show Stencil art has long been used by streetartists as the weapon of choice forexpressing themselves on the endlesscanvas of the urban fabric. Because of theneed for quickness in public spaces, stencilsbegan as simple cut outs and only involvedone or few layers of stencils. With the spreadof the new brow art movement stencils haveevolved to become an involved process withsometimes as many as 350 layers. Thisgroup show will highlight the freshestmethods and techniques as well as the evergrowing subject matter portrayed by theseartists
Mural Show Scale has the power to alter perception.Larger than life scale creates a feeling of surrealism, as the viewer becomes awarethat what the eye is seeing is unreal. Thismural show will challenge a group of artiststo create an 8 x 16 work of art. Thesepieces will allow the one to step into the
artists creation through their colossal scaleand create an environment that is otherworldly for the viewer.
John L. Sullivan Themed Show John L. Sullivan, also known as the BostonStrong Boy is last heavyweight champion of bare-knuckle boxing back in the 1800's. He
was the first American sports hero tobecome a national celebrity and the firstAmerican athlete to earn over one milliondollars. With over 450 fights under his belt

Convergence Economy: Rethinking International Development in a Converging World
Wednesday, June 1, 5:00-7:00 p.m.

2015 Massachusetts Avenue NW
RSVP: [email protected]
Accenture Development Partnerships and Accenture Sustainability Services would like to invite you to aninteractive panel discussion to celebrate the launch of their new and innovative report entitled,"Convergence Economy: Rethinking International Development in a Converging World ."
The report proposes that some of the world's most intractable problems, including childhood malnutrition,climate change, and the lack of access to clean water, cannot be solved solely by the traditional aid-basedapproach. Instead, overcoming these challenges requires a greater degree of convergence amongbusinesses, NGOs, and governments to align the power of market forces with development outcomes thatcreate mutual and sustainable value for all constituents.
In essence, these groups must replace short-term, event-driven cooperation with an on-going, sharedcommitment to mutual benefit and the creation of "systems solutions." Put simply, Accenture is seeing

The Pleasures of Reading in an Age of DistractionA Lunch Discussion with Alan JacobsFriday, June 3, 12:30-1:30 p.m.Hudson Institute1015 15th Street NW Sixth FloorWashington, DC 20005This event is free and open to the public, and will include lunch. Doors will open at 12:15 p.m. Registration isrequired. RSVP: [email protected] .
In recent years, cultural commentators have sounded the alarm about the direstate of reading in America. Americans are not reading enough, they say, or
reading the right books, in the right way.
In this lunchtime lecture, New Atlantis contributing editor Alan Jacobs will discusshis new book The Pleasures of Reading in an Age of Distraction . Jacobs arguesthat, contrary to the doomsayers, reading is alive and well in America. Hisinteractions with his students and the readers of his own books, however, suggestthat many readers lack confidence; they wonder whether they are reading well,with proper focus and attentiveness, with due discretion and discernment.

Rebecca Clark draws inspiration from the natural world of her backyard. By observing theinsects, animals, and plant life of her tiny ecosystem, she engages with the timelessrhythms and patterns of the earth. Her careful examination of nature reminds us of our
own unique place within it. Her drawings are highly detailed, resulting in a scientificintricacy which respects both the beauty and complexity of the universe we all share.

Lynn Putney's paintings are a response to living, another way to take in andexplore the experience of existence. Painting allows her to sort, sift and distillher own thoughts and feelings without preliminary sketches or pre-conceivednotions of a final image. The act of painting is thus her means of thinking outloud, mapping a progression of thoughts redefined as images. Putney's workresonates with viewers in a non-prescriptive way, providing a springboard for theirsubjective reactions to it.

From multiple directions, senior researchers from the Urban Institutes Health Policy Center diagnose thestate of childrens health coverage and preview what lies ahead for the youngest generation:
How we ll did Medicaid and the Childrens Health Insurance Program meet childrens coverage needsduring the recent recession
What might happen to childrens coverage under the Affordable Care Act? Under a Medicaid blockgrant or legislation allowing states to reduce Medicaid and CHIP eligibility?
Why do coverage programs for kids fall short of their enrollment goals? How can federal and statepolicymakers boost signup and retention?
Despite new opportunities under ACA to obtain insurance, many families will face daunting hurdlesbecause of complex household circumstances -- such as variation within families over who iseligible for public programs -- and other factors. Are there ways to lower these barriers?
Do quality health care services begin at home -- a medical home or accountable care organization,that is?

freedom correlates with economic growth.

Evan Reed: Traveling Past PROUN
(June 10-July 15)Opening Reception
Friday June 10, 6:30-9:00 p.m.
Project 4 Gallery
1353 U Street NW, 3rd floor
Washington, DC 20009(202) 232-4340
The show Evan Reed: Traveling Past PROUN at Project 4 Gallery is a solo show featuringthe work by artist, Evan Reed. Through wood sculpture and other media, Reedinvestigates the expressive potential attained by transforming familiar everyday objectsinto new forms. His work is informed by architectonic structures and driven by his
penchant for the fantastical and visionary. The title of the exhibition is a nod to theRussian Constructivist El Lissitzky whose drawings titled Proun (pro-oon, meaning"project for the affirmation of the new") are two-dimensional works that transitioned theartist into sculpture and architecture. Reeds work does not carry the revolutionaryrhetoric of the Constructivist movement; rather their core formal ideas serve as thehistorical great-grandparents for this body of work. Reed moves beyond the constraintsof Proun by using his imaginative structural drawings as the springboard to largearchitecturally based sculpture.
Reed allows the creative impulse to originate from a variety of sources. The foray into
more architectonic forms began with visits to Dubai, London and Mayan ruins in theYucatan. In the sculpture Burj al-Shawq (Tower of Desire), Reed explores the dichotomybetween an old and new Middle East by combining the imagery of the Malwiya Tower at the site of the Great Mosque of Samara in Iraq with his direct experience in Dubai during

the fevered construction boom. Not all of the work is tied to biographical events. As thegroup of sculptures develop, more of his interest in purely fantastic architecture hasbegun to dominate. The specifics of a location or context are less important so that hiswork is not confined to limiting interpretations. The viewer encounters familiarrepresentational forms in an unfamiliar presentation while experiencing Reeds art. Heplays with their sense of space, perspective, place, and time. Without strong references tothe past or future the viewer is forced to exist purely in the present with the art.

The Washington D.C. area has become international renowned as an emerging center of
glass art. At the forefront of this charge is the Washington Glass School, where, for the
past ten years, the instructors, artists and student have brought narrative and content into
glass, dragging it away from decorative craft and into the rarified atmosphere of fine art.
The Washington Glass School has produced artists whose art can be found in museums
and collections worldwide and is advancing the studio glass movement with its
explorations of narrative content, technology and skills.
Washingtons Long View Gallery presents Artists of The Washington Glass School The
First Ten Years showcasing ten ye ars of integrating glass into the contemporary artdialogue. While it recognizes the past and present, The First Ten Years is intended to
instigate and celebrate the new directions contemporary glass is exploring through
various artistic metaphors. Featured artists include: Tim Tate, Michael Janis, Erwin
Timmers, Elizabeth Mears, Robert Kincheloe, Syl Mathis, Lea Topping, Allison Sigethy,
Dave DOrio, Kirk Waldroff, Robert Wiener and others.
