Starting on February 20 and continuing to March 28, 2021, the Washington Art Association (WAA) is going to stage an exhibition that uses its three galleries. Artists from many locations with many voices have contributed; collectively their voice is a chorus of connectivity. The common ground of intense existential awareness induced by the worldwide contagion and felt by all has become an inspiration to rise above the threat to life with a leap of faith and hope for healing. The uniting factor is the connection of creativity and empathy for those in this struggle. WAA is proud to offer this show as a light to awaken the power of art over fear. Creative Connections consists of four separate parts: Post Pandemic; Portraits of Frontliners; “I Heard the News Today, Oh Boy”; and Quarantine 2020, Through a Crow’s Eye.

“Post Pandemic” will feature a unique array of postcard-sized works created by artists of all ages and backgrounds during the COVID-19 pandemic. The collection of small pieces, inspired by the crisis, aim to connect the community through their various mediums, subjects, and messages.

Hours:
Wednesday – Saturday 10 am – 4 pm
Sunday 12 pm – 4 pm
Closed Monday and Tuesday
