As I noted a couple of days ago, the "Women Artists of the DMV" show is on!
So far, as of the publication of this post, I've received over 800 emails/DMs/texts with female artists wanting to be in the show.
Update 1: If you'd like me to consider your work, please email me your website to lennycampello@hotmail.com - no calls, texts, DMs, Facebooking, etc.
Update 2: Due to the overwhelming number of interested artists, I've added a 4th venue to the show: the gorgeous first floor gallery at The Mansion at Strathmore.
All four shows will open in September 2025 and run for about 8-9 weeks at the American University's Katzen Museum in DC, the Athenaeum in Alexandria, and Artists & Makers Studios in Rockville and now also Strathmore.
The openings will be staggered: One museum, two non-profit art spaces, and one terrific woman-owned independent commercial fine arts gallery! All great parts of the DMV's (an acronym that apparently I invented by accident according to the Washington City Paper) visual arts tapestry.
I'm also still working on a potential book deal with the same publisher for whom I did 100 Artists of Washington, DC over a decade ago... fingers crossed.
One more time: if you'd like me to consider your work, or if you'd like to recommend someone's work, please email me the artist's name and her website.
I'm also crowdsourcing some of the opportunities by asking several of the DMV's visual arts illuminati and the cognoscenti (curators, museum directors, art space directors, art collectors, gallerists, etc.) to nominate up to 10 "must have" women.
Pass it on!
