Crawford, Hannah Longbottom Estrada, Malik Greene, Fadia Jawdat, Ahmad Kadi, and Jeff SoiferJoin us for the Opening Celebration of our final exhibition of 2025: Closer beyond; further within.The DC Arts Center’s Sparkplug Artists’ Collective is a year-long program that puts together a community of artists diverse in both their artistic practices as well as their personal histories. Closer beyond; further within showcases the 2025 Sparkplug artist collective cohort with their ideas and reflections on home.The theme of this exhibition coalesced due to the current political and social landscape of our homeland, disturbing the sanctity of home for the people of the United States as well as the homes of all of those within our country’s grasp. Closer beyond; further within invites viewers into the makeshift sanctuary that is in the gallery space of The DC Arts Center to ponder the meaning of home as they look on to differing interpretations and ways these artists experience home. Through their work in this exhibition, the Collective poses the questions: what does it mean to feel home and what would it mean if the sanctity of home is harmed or destroyed?Learn more about the Sparkplug Artists' Collective at dcartscenter.org/sparkplug https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/45dfe9f0-bed1-11f0-a445-99d61a730958-rimg-w890-h740-dca99377-gmir.jpg Main Exhibition Image:Izy CarneyPeople of Conscience, 2025Fabric dyed with rust pomegranate peels and mold34" x 28.5" - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/washington/exhibition-opening-celebration-closer-beyond;-further-within/100001963656503462 - **Event Categories**: art, exhibitions - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Washington - **state**: DC - **country**: United States - **location**: The DC Arts Center (DCAC) - **lat**: 38.92162219999999 - **long**: -77.04261079999999 - **full address**: The DC Arts Center (DCAC), 2438 18th Street Northwest, Washington, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Exhibition Opening Celebration: "Closer beyond; further within" - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/7e8cef27953bae604957990ee5870753b43359ac2f709a641d30540bd6eedd9e-rimg-w1200-h998-dca99476-gmir.jpg?v=1762846656 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Exhibition Opening Celebration: "Closer beyond; further within" being held? - **A:** Exhibition Opening Celebration: "Closer beyond; further within" takes place on Fri, 14 Nov, 2025 at 07:00 pm to Fri, 14 Nov, 2025 at 09:00 pm at The DC Arts Center (DCAC), 2438 18th Street Northwest, Washington, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Exhibition Opening Celebration: "Closer beyond; further within"? - **A:** Exhibition Opening Celebration: "Closer beyond; further within" is organized by The DC Arts Center. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
