In Pictures: Northern Ireland Opening Reception @ Blank Space SE

Last night's opening reception at Blank Space SE featured the work of Paddy Kelly, Jane Butler, and Mark Doxey. The ARCH Artists in Residence have been photographing their time in Anacostia and DC and displayed their projects last night. It was great seeing people in the community come out to see themselves in the photographs. Also in attendance were former Ward 8 Artists in Residences, Fred Joiner and Marlon, who spent time in Northern Ireland earlier in the year.

My camera was out of commission for most of the event but including some of the pictures I was able to take towards the end.

Blank Space SE: 1922 MLK Jr. Ave SE. Exhibit opens on November 2nd, 5-7pm. Open hours are 10am-noon and by appointment, email bferraro@archdc.org / www.blankspacese.com ARCH Residency Program is funded in part by NEA.
