dancing in the dark r​uns from February 3 - February 28, 2020.
Opening Reception: Friday February 7, 6 p.m. - 8 p.m.

Arrington’s collection of photographic art invites spectators to investigate the concept of expression as it relates to identity and performance.​ ​This exhibition is an homage to those who are marginalized yet vying for expression in a world that beckons assimilation and threatens their very existence.
Perfection can be paralyzing but to dance is to be free...if only for a little while...
Drawing inspiration from afrofuturism and dadaism, Arrington explores the allure of magic dancers evoke through movement. With no limitations of expression, she invites you to dance.
Gallery Hours: Monday through Saturdays from 7 a.m. - 10 p.m; Sunday 10am-5pm at THEARC, ​1901 Mississippi Ave., SE, Washington, DC, 20020​.

Admission is free.
