Ward 5 Wonders & New Works Exhibition and Reception


Art Enables presents two new exhibitions opening on August 13th, 2016. Ward 5 Wonders includes work by six local artists who either live or work in Ward 5 in Washington, DC.

New Works features original work made within the past six months by Art Enables’ resident artists. As artists with disabilities, their themes can range from loss, love, past trauma, travel, and family to favorite TV characters and pop culture references, but they all have one commonality – a desire to share their story and unique perspective with the world. Guests can meet the artists at the Second Saturday opening on August 13th, 1 – 4pm.

Bonus - watch for Pokemon Go lures nearby!
