Hillyer Art Space First Friday: Fragmented Light, by Maro Vandorou

Music by DJ SteveLove of Nouveau Riche

Complimentary drinks and Greek food from Zaytinya!

Fragmented Light consists of original photographic material of Keramicos, an ancient cemetery in Athens, Greece, printed as Platinum Palladium prints. Vandorou uses an eclectic mix of photographic techniques spanning three centuries of photography to create a series of images that convey a sense of time passing, the brevity of life, and the fragility of both.

Northmen's Place Made Southfolk's Thing: Landscapes of Finland and Nova Scotia, by Paul Reuther

Northmen’s Place Made Southfolk’s Thing: Landscapes of Finland and Nova Scotia is a painterly manifestation of Paul Reuther’s attraction to and passion for the landscape and culture of the north. The exhibition features the last few years of Reuther’s efforts to represent the landscapes of Maine, Maritime Canada and most recently, Kemijärvi, Finland where he attended an artist residency last summer. Northern lights, cool water-based climates, and the outdoors are typical characteristics in Reuther’s paintings, all of which were completed on location.

$10 Suggested donation but any support is appreciated. Proceeds go towards supporting our local artist series and future events.

Exhibition developed and coordinated by International Arts & Artists, Washington DC in conjunction with the Embassy of Greece.

Hillyer Art Space is funded in part by the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities, an agency supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts.
