Hi, How’s it going? I recently found your work and it left an impression on me. I’ll like to purchase some. Please let me know your thoughts.

The list grows!

The list keep growing for "the" show. So far I have been ghosted by the National Museum of Women in the Arts - have sent emails to multiple people, but no response (so far... cough... cough).  I could use a major donor to contact them...

Some of the emails so far...

As of this morning I've received over 1,000 emails from female artists from the DMV who'd like to be considered for the 2025 "Women Artists of the DMV" survey show, which (so far) will open around September 2025 at the American University Katzen Art Museum in DC, the Athenaeum in Alexandria, Artists & Maker Studios in Rockville, and the Strathmore Mansion Galleries also in Rockville, MD.

So far I've extended an invitation to be part of the show to about 40 artists. 

Being the exceptionally gifted person that I am, cough... cough... I expected some responses like the below and in a variation or another; I've received five so far along these lines... cough... cough...

Subject: RE: Invitation to participate in the 2025 Women Artists of the DMV show

Dear Lenny,

Thank you for inviting me to be part of this historic show and thank you for all your hard work in assembling it.  If not too much to ask, I want to be clear that I expect my work to be in the Katzen Museum for the show, as I believe that my artwork over the years merits being in the Katzen instead of any of the other venues.

Please confirm and let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you, 

My response to the artist:

Thank you for your note.

As of this point I have not assigned exhibition venues to artists and cannot guarantee the Katzen or any other venue to anyone... sorry.

If it's the Katzen or nothing, please let me know soonest.

I am still in the process of trying to add one more DC space to the show, as the overwhelming number of interested women far exceeded what I originally thought, which is a good thing. As such I have approached the National Museum of Women in the Arts (NMWA) to see if they can schedule a portion of the show there - fingers crossed!

If I work it out with the NMWA, then that should make it easier to consider the Katzen for more artists, such as you. In that case, I will note that you'd prefer the Katzen.

More later...

Lenny

Thanks

And then there's the below offer of sex!  Not the first time that something like this has happened to me here and there - but usually when I was in the outdoor art show circuit and used to do 20+ shows a year all over the country... 

Maybe 40+ years ago I would have been young enough, and stupid enough, and single enough to take this offer... cough... cough...

Subject: Your FB post about Women Artists of the DMV - I want to be in it!

I just read about the show that you're curating and organizing for female artists from the DMV.  I want to be in this show.

My website is _______________ and I am 29 years old and if you pick me, there's pussy and/or a blow job as a reward. There are photos of me here at ______________________.

I am serious and I am cute.

My cell is ____________

I am a good artist, and I need this exposure.

Kisses,

My response:

Dear ______________,

Thank you for your note and offer.

With all due respect, I must decline your offer.  All my selections will be based solely on my very subjective approach to curating group art shows, and based solely on the quality of the artwork and the presence and impact (or need for) of the artist.

 Best,

Lenny

PS - Part of me admires your all or nothing attitude, but be careful out there.

And the passive aggressive approach...

Subject: Women Artists show for DC/DMV

Mr. Campbello,

I appreciate your idea for a show focused on DC women artists, it is about time, why hasnt this been done before?

Black women and other BIPOC women should be the majority of this show, considering the area that the show will cover.

My website is _________________ and below are my list of BIPOC women artists that you need to include in your show.  

Please call me when you have a chance 

_________________ (202) ***-****

And my even more passive aggressive response...

Dear ______________

I hope that it's OK if I refer to you by your first name? Please let me know.

And before I forget: my last name is Campello, not Campbello! No worries, not the first time (or five thousandth) time that has happened.

Thank you for your suggestion! I appreciate it when people take the time and effort to help other people refine and retune their ideas!

In response to your suggestion (it was a suggestion... right?), while I appreciate it, ahhh.. no!

I have no idea what the majority - speaking in racial terms, or ethnic terms, or national terms (about 200+ or so) - will be the "majority" in the final selection, as I intend to pick the artists based on their artwork (mostly) rather than any other non-artistic criteria.

I suspect that the show will end up reflecting the immensely rich and diverse visual arts tapestry that is the DMV's art scene!

Best,

Lenny

Women Artists of the DMV - Update!

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!

Women Artists of the DMV - the show is on!

The show it's on! It will open middle of 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 - one spot in each of the components of the DMV! The openings will be staggered: One museum, one non-profit art space and one woman-owned independent commercial fine arts gallery! One is each of the foot prints of the DMV (an acronym that apparently I invented by accident according to the Washington City Paper).

I'm also working on a potential book deal with the same publisher for whom I did 100 Artists of Washington, DC over a decade ago.

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.

More later! Here's the original proposal first discussed in 2023 here.

Proposal: Women Artists of the DMV

According to the research done by the Washington City Paper in 2017, the term “DMV”, which is used to refer to the District, Maryland and Virginia first appeared in a DC ART NEWS blog post that I wrote in 2003 – And yes! I therefore do claim that I invented it!

The Greater Washington, D.C., capital region (the DMV) is not only home to some of the best art museums in the world, dozens of art galleries, non-profit art spaces, alternative art venues, and art organizations, but it also supports and fertilizes of the best and most creative visual art scenes in the nation.

This scene is kindled and ignited to a large extent by female artists of all ages, races and ethnicities – an artistic female universe significantly more diverse than just about any of other major city on the planet. By the same logic and path, the artwork created by these fertile minds examine every possible corner of the visual arts genres and creative corners.

Celebrating this art scene, which spreads across the three areas that make up the DMV, I propose to curate an exhibition of 100 works by 100 women artists comprised of both leading and established female artists plus talented emerging contemporary female visual artists who represent the tens of thousands of women artists working in this culturally and ethnically diverse region in order to assemble a group show to showcase the immense power of the visual arts being created by these artists.

Let me repeat myself: Equally diverse as the artists, are the artistic styles and media you will see in this curated exhibition, the first of its kind for the capital area.

With 100 works of art potentially available for curatorial selection, this exhibition will offer a primer for both the experienced art eye and the beginning art aficionado, highlighting a selection of talented artists who usually deserve more attention on a local, regional and national scale.

100 works of art take a lot of exhibition space, and thus this curated exhibition could either be:

(a)    Fully staged at the Katzen or;

(b)    Would be concurrently spread across three separate venues in the DMV: At the Katzen in the District, one non-profit in Northern Virginia and one independent gallery in Maryland.

 i.            For Northern Virginia I have obtained an approval for the exhibition from The Athenaeum in Alexandria.

ii.            For Maryland, I have obtained an approval for the exhibition from The Artists & Makers Gallery complex in Rockville.

I have the experience to curate a large, multi-space art survey exhibition. In 2007 I curated “Seven”, a seven-gallery exhibition in the District that surveyed the thousands of artist members of the Washington Project for the Arts (WPA). Over 6500 slides (remember slides?) were reviewed and a couple of hundred artists selected for the multi-gallery show, which received multiple reviews in the press, both local and national.  In 2001 I curated “Contemporary Realism: A Survey of Washington Area Realists” for the Athenaeum in Alexandria – another show that exhibited over 60 artists and received wide reviews in the regional and national press.  Those are just two of hundreds of curated shows since 1996.

My curatorial process for this large proposal will also involve “community input”, as I intend to approach the DMV artistic community to be able to propose up to 15 of the 100 final artists. 

I also have ample experience running this “community input” process, as in 2011 I authored the book 100 Artists of Washington, DC (published by Schiffer Press), which in part included “community input” to ensure that the diversity of the 100 artists – both in style, age, genres, etc. – was truly representational of the Greater DC area.

I understand that a significant lead time is needed by American University to schedule approved Alper shows, and stand ready, willing and able to tackle this opportunity, regardless of the time frame.

Finally, I have started the tentative process of getting artists’ commitments to the exhibition, with the goal of aligning the leading female artists of the region to help “move” this proposal and so far have obtained enthusiastic “yes” from Margaret Boozer, Lisa Montag Brotman, Shanti Chandra Sekar, Irene Clouthier, Rosemary Feit-Covey, Claudia Gibson-Hunter, Carol Brown Goldberg, Janis Goodman, Muriel Hasbun, Melissa Ichiuji, Akemi Maegawa, Joey Manlapaz, Anne Marchand, Jody Mussoff, Teresa Oaxaca, Amber Robles-Gordon, Renee Stout, Helen Zughaib and 60+ other DMV female artists.

Let’s go!

Art Week DC in 2025

Apparently the DC Commission on the Arts & Humanities is planning to do a soft launch in 2025 for an "Art Week DC."  I say "apparently" tongue in cheek because I have tried to communicate with them via email and snail mail to volunteer in assisting with this as needed and pass on my world-class art fair education obtained via real life of doing art fairs since 2006 in Art Basel Miami Beach, New York, Santa Fe, London, Johannesburg, Austin and most recently London - as well as being an occasional advisor to one of the largest commercial art fair companies in the world.

Ignored so far - but I first proposed this idea waaaay back in 2008 - see that here. I updated it after the Covidian monster changed the world here and I adapted it to the Art Week DC idea when I first heard of it here.

As I said, so far I've heard shit back from the Commission.

This is a GREAT inititative and if done right, it should do wonders for the DC art scene, but if the Commission does not learn the lessons learned from the ArtDC fair and the various (e)merge art fairs, then they'll eventually repeat the issues that killed those initiatives.  If you're involved in setting up/planning the Art Week DC in 2025 and know nothing about those other DC-based art fairs, you're already stepping on your crank.

Here are the minutes from the last commission meeting, and below I've pasted the transcript of the minutes for the Art Week DC section - with a couple of corrections in yellow.

01:03:28.000 --> 01:03:33.000

There's a special committee update on Art Week DC 2025, which I will give.

01:03:33.000 --> 01:03:37.000

There are four pieces of news I'll bring to you. First.

01:03:37.000 --> 01:03:39.000

We've now had two meetings

01:03:39.000 --> 01:03:42.000

But the Chinese cultural ambassador who's very interested in our art week

01:03:42.000 --> 01:03:44.000

DC project, including perhaps

01:03:44.000 --> 01:03:46.000

doing a Chinese pavilion.

01:03:46.000 --> 01:03:49.000

Similar to the pavilions that do it in the Biennale.

01:03:49.000 --> 01:03:52.000

in Venice. So we are working with a number of

01:03:52.000 --> 01:03:55.000

embassies, the Chinese embassy is ahead of the others and

01:03:55.000 --> 01:04:01.000

talking with us about that. On December 4th, there's a dinner in honor of DC-based

museum directors

01:04:01.000 --> 01:04:05.000

and independent curators in Miami during Art Odd Basel Miami.

01:04:05.000 --> 01:04:12.000

And we have great attendance already and some very prominent people coming. All of

this is to get people ready for

01:04:12.000 --> 01:04:14.000

us having our Art Week DC

01:04:14.000 --> 01:04:17.000

a soft launch and the staff continue to remind me

01:04:17.000 --> 01:04:18.000

Okay.

01:04:18.000 --> 01:04:22.000

I have to say it's a soft launch in 2025. It's a very soft

01:04:22.000 --> 01:04:27.000

launch in 2025. The launch is quite soft in 2025.

01:04:27.000 --> 01:04:31.000

And we'll do something much more significant in 2026 and afterwards.

01:04:31.000 --> 01:04:33.000

On December 13th.

01:04:33.000 --> 01:04:36.000

We planned a stakeholder meeting

01:04:36.000 --> 01:04:39.000

where we're bringing together, I think, all of those who participated in this

01:04:39.000 --> 01:04:44.000

probably several hundred people across the six or eight months who've done these

stakeholder meetings.

01:04:44.000 --> 01:04:47.000

She would talk about this Art Week DC concept.

01:04:47.000 --> 01:04:49.000

We're having them at the Gallup building

01:04:49.000 --> 01:04:51.000

Here in DC, of course.

01:04:51.000 --> 01:04:56.000

I'm understanding that the attendance on that is looking quite good as well.

01:04:56.000 --> 01:05:01.000

It's December 13th from noon to 2. So anyone who's listening, if you are one of the

stakeholders.

01:05:01.000 --> 01:05:03.000

And perhaps if you weren't, but you're interested, we could see if we could

01:05:03.000 --> 01:05:06.000

squeeze you into the space as well this is

01:05:06.000 --> 01:05:11.000

Our attempt at bringing all the stakeholders together and in one room to move

towards co-creating.

01:05:11.000 --> 01:05:15.000

But Hardweek Artweek DC will be for 25, which is a soft launch.

01:05:15.000 --> 01:05:17.000

And 26 after that.

01:05:17.000 --> 01:05:23.000

Also at that December 13th meeting, Michael Kaisler with the DeVos Institute

01:05:23.000 --> 01:05:27.000

who has been hired to help us develop the plan for Art Week DC

01:05:27.000 --> 01:05:29.000

will give a progress review.

01:05:29.000 --> 01:05:32.000

His work will be finished sometime in January, but

01:05:32.000 --> 01:05:38.000

In December, he feels he can give us a hint at where we're going and to get

reactions from the group as well.

01:05:38.000 --> 01:05:42.000

So those are the four events around Ard Art Week DC. It is proceeding.

01:05:42.000 --> 01:05:44.000

people are getting more and more excited about it.

01:05:44.000 --> 01:05:47.000

And we're looking forward to what it will bring

01:05:47.000 --> 01:05:50.000

to the city in as far as recognizing

01:05:50.000 --> 01:05:55.000

DC artist, but also the commerce that it hopefully will bring to the city as

01:05:55.000 --> 01:05:58.000

Art Basel, Miami, Paris, et cetera, have done as well.

01:05:58.000 --> 01:06:02.000

So I have no other new business.

01:06:02.000 --> 01:06:04.000

Did we miss anything?

01:06:04.000 --> 01:06:11.000

If not, it'd be no further business. The next meeting of the commission will be held

Monday, December 16th, 2024.

01:06:11.000 --> 01:06:15.000

At 5.30 p.m. The time is now 626.

01:06:15.000 --> 01:06:27.000

And this meeting is adjourned. Thank you.
