Honfleur Gallery. Four art exhibits open concurrently in Historic Anacostia on Friday July 30th at 6:30pm, highlighting the multifaceted Anacostia community. Local artists explore and react to the spiritual, social, environmental and historical issues of this neighborhood. The exhibits encompass the voices of a range of emerging to established artists and creative minds.

At The Gallery at Vivid Solutions, Anacostia: Never Far From Home is a look at the past and present of Anacostia, with the help from local bloggers Fred Joiner (fredjoiner.wordpress.com/), Nikki Peele (congressheightsontherise.com/) and David Garber (anacostianow.blogspot.com/). This interactive exhibition includes community participation-- everyone is invited to bring their own photographs to hang on the community wall and assist the gallery in telling a visual story of Anacostia. The exhibit will evolve over the course of the show, as local residents and bloggers react to and build their story.

These exhibits are showing until September 10, 2010.
