Emergence Opens in Chevy Chase: A Celebration of Renewal Through Print
As spring blooms in the nation’s capital, Friendship Heights Village Center welcomes this season of renewal with Emergence, a vibrant new exhibition. Featuring artwork by members of Washington Printmakers Gallery, this show offers a refreshing antidote to the grayness of winter—inviting viewers into a world of growth, light, and natural transformation.
From finely observed botanical studies to bold abstractions exploring color, movement, and luminosity, Emergence highlights the extraordinary range of contemporary printmaking practiced within our cooperative. Visitors will encounter traditional techniques such as etching and relief, alongside experimental monoprints, mixed‑media works, and photographic processes that push the boundaries of the medium.
Work by Barbara Bitondo, Suzanne Bartlett , Sarah Barzmehri , Susan Wooddell Campbell, Peggy Cormary , Donna Cameron, Kristine DeNinno, Rebeca Gilmore , Clara Young Kim, Ron Meik , Nina Muys , Leslie Rose , Debbie Schindler, Clare Winslow, and Claire Wright together offers a multifaceted exploration of emergence—whether through the unfurling of organic forms, the layering of color and texture, or the quiet revelation of light across a surface.
