“Contrast” Gallery Underground Art Exhibition in July
Dates: July 1-31, 2020
No opening reception this month due to health safety regulations
Gallery Underground presents Contrast, on view during the month of July. “There are dark shadows on the earth, but its lights are stronger in the contrast,” goes a quote by Charles Dickens. Slowly emerging from sheltering at home, artists have submitted works that create drama and command attention through the use of contrast, both in color and subject. The show features works in a variety of media including mixed media, paintings, sculpture, wood, glass, and ceramics.

Gallery Underground has been named our region’s “Best Art Gallery” in Northern Virginia Magazine’s 2019 reader survey. Located in the Crystal City Shops at 2100 Crystal Drive, Arlington, VA 22202, this visual arts venue showcases the work of established and emerging regional artists.
Each month the gallery changes its entire exhibit and presents a new show from its talented members in many forms: mixed media, paintings, sculpture, wood, glass, and ceramic work. Gallery Underground anchors the visual arts component of Crystal City’s Art Underground, and on First Fridays (first Friday of every month), it hosts an art reception free and open to all from 5-7pm (Note: receptions will resume when larger gatherings are deemed safe).
In addition to monthly rotating exhibitions, Gallery Underground hosts a variety of community events, like lunchtime paint-ins and dance and musical performances. Gallery Underground is sponsored by the Arlington Artists Alliance (AAA), in partnership with the Crystal City Business Improvement District (BID), and JBG Smith.
