Donnelly and Finsen at City Gallery


I'm hearing good things about the Nancy Donnelly and Jill Finsen show at City Gallery, 804 H St NE in DC.


Nancy's glass bird forms in colors, are now swooping around the gallery, the egg shapes, also in colors, are lit from below and are quite beautiful while Finsen continues her exploration of color in some beautiful paintings. Jill Finsen will be at City Gallery Saturday May 22 and Saturday May 29. All photos by Pete Duvall.

They are looking for artwork that "depict local scenes that demonstrate the importance of statehood, liberty and freedom in Washington, DC."

13 pieces of artwork will be selected to appear in the ACLU-NCA's 2011 calendar as well as being on display at the ACLU-NCA's upcoming July 14th statehood event.

If you have any questions please contact amelia@aclu-nca.org.
