In The Know
Isabel Manalo at Addison/Ripley Fine Art
June 21, 2016Addison/Ripley Fine Art presents their third exhibition of work by artist Isabel Manalo. "Unscripted, Naturally" focuses on the artist's exploration of language and pattering in combination with her recognizable, unique presentation of the abstracted landscape.
The exhibition brings together the artist's love for language, calligraphy, collage and the process of abstract expressionism all together in this new suite of paintings as a dedication to her cross cultural heritage and identity as a Filipino American.
"Unscripted, Naturally" will be on view at Addison/Ripley from June 3 - July 16, with an opening reception scheduled for Saturday, June 11, from 5:00 to 7:00 pm.
Addison/Ripley Fine Art is located at 1670 Wisconsin Avenue in Georgetown.

June 1, 2016Celebrate 75 years of Dumbarton Oaks Park Saturday, June 4, 2016.

Lovers’ Lane separates Dumbarton Oaks estate from Montrose Park and is signposted by a green-on-white wooden plaque reading, “Dumbarton Oaks Park, Open Dawn to Dusk.” The lane descends one-fourth of a mile to the Park entrance at the bottom of the hill.
