“A lineup of emerging and established artists, photographers and authors will present their work Sunday afternoon at metrobar‘s inaugural Holiday Art Fair, which will include an art sale, photography exhibit and live music.
Artists from the Artbae and BlkArthouse will be selling their work at the outdoor venue, 640 Rhode Island Avenue NE. Artbae is a collective of DC-area artists who build awareness for activism and social change through arts-centered programming initiatives. BlkArthouse is a DC-based organization that represents emerging Black artists and is dedicated to increasing access and representation throughout the art world. The Holiday Art Fair runs from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Also happening:
· 2 p.m.: Several local authors will be selling and signing books, including internationally-recognized photographer Maria Daniel Balcazar whose photo book Kilombo explores Brazil’s deep African cultural and religious roots, and former USA Today baseball editor Cesar Brioso whose book Havana Hardball tells the story of 1947 spring training, Jackie Robinson and the Cuban League.
· 3 p.m.: Opening of the “Look Hear Gallery,” an exhibit curated by D.C. photographer Shedrick Pelt that celebrates the beauty and intimacies of Black culture through the lenses of Black photographers.
· 4 p.m. – 7 p.m.: The Too Much Talent Band, a brass-driven jazz and soul band, takes the stage.
metrobar, which boasts an actual 5000-series DC Metro railcar as its centerpiece, has a mission to advance cultural, educational, and social programming through collaborative, arts-driven, experiences that focus on local artists and subjects.”
