Georgetown Neighborhood Library
3260 R St NW
DESCRIPTION
Official Georgetown Art All Night Welcome Location
The Georgetown Neighborhood Library is one of the 26 locations belonging to the District of Columbia Public Library, and since its debut in 1935, it continues to serve as the “pride of the community” in the Georgetown area. Erected on the Georgetown National Register Historic District, the library features the only local history archive in town in its Peabody Room, eponymous with George Peabody, a 19th-century businessman who had gathered and cataloged materials decades before the library’s founding. After a damaging fire in 2007, the library underwent a substantial renovation that both retains its original lineaments and adds thereto children’s and teens’ spaces. Now, the 87-year-long library connects the past and present of the Georgetown neighborhood and presents them to locals and visitors alike.

ART ON DISPLAY
Upstairs, Caroline Adams: Elevation
I spent the past four years living at 8,500 feet, on the side of a mountain. I drank in the light and color, clarity and distance, movement and quiet. With each day above, below, and within the clouds, I came to not only see the landscape with my eyes, but also feel it in my body. I want these paintings to convey some of that sensation of living at elevation.

I consider myself to be part of the Contemporary Afro Futurism movement in art, reflected in my work as a way of looking within to see a world that is beyondthat which we see with our physical eyes. My work represents a look inside out--- a deconstruction of the unspeakable to reveal the inner peace and love that is always there even in times of despair. For me that world is awash in brilliant color and abstraction that represents the pain in a way that allows us to move beyond it into a new present-day reality where it can no longer define or limit us.

Just as its physical cornerstone has remained intact for more than two centuries, St. John emphasizes the interaction between religion and the secular community, providing all kinds of services to visitors with help from a substantial horde of volunteers.

ART ON DISPLAY
Marie Darling’s Contours of Color is a new series exploring color and how personal experiences can change how we see color. Her inspiration comes from years of studying color theory both in her personal life and her many years spent in the classroom. Through these studies, Marie learned that our personal experiences, culture and identity influences how we see color. Using layers of acrylic, watercolors, and a variety of drawing materials, she embraced the process of color exploration. Marie tries to portray her personal experiences and love of nature through different color palettes enhanced by adding texture using yarn, thread, beads, and a variety of embroidery stitches. Marie hopes that the pieces she creates can connect the viewer to their life experiences and remind them of their relationship to color, finding their story, any story among the many layers applied to the surface. She likes to create work on both canvas and 300 pound cold-pressed watercolor paper. The frames that can be found on many of her works on canvas are handmade by Marie’s husband, Nic Darling.

6:00 - 11:00 PM: Take a seat and participate in a DIY Watercolor Workshop featuring a print by Marie Darling
