SUMMARY:Helen Zughaib Artist Talk & Studio Visit
DESCRIPTION:Don’t miss your chance for a studio tour with celebrated artist Helen Zughaib! Zughaib is a Washington\, DC-based painter and mixed-media artist known for her vibrant and thought-provoking work.

She is a multi-year recipient of DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities Fellowship award. In 2023\, she was featured at the Hall of Nations at the Kennedy Center\, and was commissioned by Disney/PIXAR. Zughaib has exhibitions running concurrently at The Kay Chernush Virtual Gallery\, ArtRage\, and ArtHub609 Gallery this fall. \n\n\n\n“My work is ultimately about creating empathy. Creating a shared space for introspection anddialogue. I ask the viewer to see through someone else’s eyes\, to walk in another’s shoes. Toaccept the “other.” To reject divisiveness. To promote acceptance and understanding and toreject violence and subjugation of anyone anywhere. To give voice to the voiceless\, to heal\, andto reflect in our shared humanity.” \n\n\n\nThank you to Sarah Gordon for her assistance with this event! \n\n\n\nAdmission: \n\n\n\n\nArtTable Members $10\n\n\n\nGuests $20\n\n\n\n\nNot a member?
