This exhibition will uplift and examine the usage and interpretation of material amongst five Black women artists under the age of 40. Come observe the interaction between artworks that overlap mixed media collage and photography with a site specific drawing installation. See how these women artists compare notes and broach discussions on the effectiveness their chosen media and materials to communicate their individual ideas and values.

DCAC is both a meeting place for ideas and visions and a source of strength and encouragement for artists, as well as audiences.

The mission of BADC is to create a Black artist community to promote, develop and validate the culture, artistic expressions and aspirations of past and present artists of Black-Afrikan ancestry in the Washington, DC metropolitan area.
