Recipient of the 2023 East of the River Distinguished Artist Award. Presented by Honfleur Gallery in memory of Sharon Hughes Gautier.
ABOUT THE SHOW
Zsudayka Nzinga Terrell created the Infinity Program to create a community and empower Black women artists in the DMV area to show their artwork and understand the art business. Judges Carol Dyson, Shante Bullock, and James Brown, Jr. helped narrow down from over 50 applicants the top 11 artists. From the early 20s to early 50s, emerging, practicing, and re-emerging artists met for eight weeks and learned about the art business from various presenters, including an art consultant, grant manager, museum acquisitions coordinator, trademark attorney, and a life coach. We painted together and built our businesses. Our bond was so strong we decided to form a collective, continue supporting each other, and grow together in our art and life journeys. All of our artists are showing regionally now.
This exhibition is titled "Interlocked" and explores the connections forged between groups of people working in unison towards a common goal. Featuring the work of Camille Angel, Sanah Brown-Bowers, Shante Bullock, Bria Edwards, Artiste Fletcher, Dany Green, Joy Nutt, Reshada Pullen, Liz Stewart, Chantae Sudlow, Candice Tavares, and Vanessa Villareal.
Viewing should be mandatory for curator Luis Del Valle's Leave It On The Board, but skateboard proficiency is optional.
🏆ASKING FOR YOUR SUPPORT! Please nominate Honfleur Gallery to be honored at the 38th Annual Mayor's Arts Award!

Honfleur maintains a rigorous schedule of exhibitions and programming focusing on cutting-edge contemporary exhibitions by artists from the USA and abroad.
Experimental media and installation works are welcome at Honfleur alongside more traditional art media.

HONFLEUR WOMEN IN ARTS PROGRAM (FY 2023)
Grants are given to individuals or collaboratives who propose a project that focuses on the impact that being a woman [or identifying as a woman] has had in pursuing creative endeavors. For 2023, seven grants were awarded as follows:
Awungjia (Gia) Foretia
To produce a film, BLIND JUSTICE, a narrative drama that centers around a teenage girl afflicted with glaucoma who must work out of the crime-infested neighborhoods of Washington, DC, to pursue her dream of becoming a writer. Blind Justice is the first short film for this writer, producer, executive producer, and actor. Foretia was inspired to write this short film to highlight the struggles that female minority children face as they strive to achieve success outside their parents' traditional career path expectations.
Marta Staudinger
The project will include a research component and an exhibition. First, the project will select five local women-identifying artists/arts workers to participate who come from different socio-economic backgrounds and who work in various media. Staudinger will interview them and collect data as a field study focusing on how they have felt discriminated against by artworld systems in the past, their current needs, and how they imagine art spaces and art publics can hold in the future. The selected women would then create a response to the interview, which could be in the form of audio, video, visual art, poetry, or other forms of expression. Staudinger will then curate an exhibition at Honfleur Gallery with audio excerpts from the interviews, their call and response work, and/or visuals of data tracking.
Zsudayka Nzinga
The project, "Infinity Program," will target eight underrepresented African American women artists, ages 18 to 30, interested in progressing their artistic careers. With an emphasis on artwork that tells Black stories, the program empowers artists by providing creative support, business support, and an opportunity to highlight their work and create future opportunities and relationships. Artists will gain essential tools to navigate the visual art scene. They will get direct opportunities to establish a business practice around their art and be encouraged to explore their creative process and form kinship amongst upcoming industry peers. Nzinga's project will result in an exhibition at Honfleur Gallery in FY 2024.
Amelie Haden
The project will focus on the stereotypes and expectations that are put on all genders. The concept for Haden's project formed after seeing Salvador Dali's 1936 The Anthropomorphic Cabinet (1936, 1979) and his Venus de Milo with Drawer (1939) sculpture. While at the Corcoran College of Art & Design, Haden took a wood sculpture class where she was the only woman, and students questioned her being there. For her final project, she came to the professor with a design that focused on the female anatomy and would force the viewer to confront it. The professor told her it would take too long to execute her plan, and Haden produced the male version, which was half as much work. She created her piece lovingly called Family Jewels. Over time, she realized she needed to make the companion piece for Family Jewels. There was a need to discuss gender stereotypes and how they shape relationships with our bodies and those of the other s*x. The creation of the female version of this piece would play on stereotypes of the female body and would be a compelling juxtaposition between how male and female bodies are viewed. Viewers engaging with the two pieces would be forced to face their biases about human anatomy and how it should be displayed and interacted with. She will also create three to four other works, resulting in an exhibition at Honfleur in FY2024.
The Other You
An independent feature film written by Julie Gold, directed by Shoshana Rosenbaum, and produced by Robin Noonan-Price, a District of Columbia-based women's collective whose goal is to build their careers and increase the visibility of the nascent D.C.-area fiction film industry.
Phyllicia Hatton
Will publish a book, "Captivated: Fearfully, Wonderfully Made!” which will be a Compilation of Women Visual Artists. Hatton's work will highlight and "educate the public about women who have long been underrepresented in the national narrative'."
BREathe Dance Project
"Origin" is a choreographic installment that explores the interlacing patterns between trauma and kinesthetic response. What does the body look like, internally and externally, when trauma begins? Research has proven that trauma can be an acute incident of extreme suffering or a prolonged culmination of cyclical moments of pain and stress. And while the human body has unfortunately become accustomed to existing within and healing from the matrix of traumatic
experiences, the existential question remains "Can we really ever experience joy in its purest form?" Through this work, the dance company hopes to highlight how the psyche and body respond throughout the cycle of trauma- exploring themes such as anxiety, suffocation, coping mechanisms, and healing. In some ways, this work will dive deeply into the five cycles of grief from an internal perspective rather than through an external experience.
FY 2023 HONFLEUR ARTIST IN RESIDENCY
Rik Freeman
Mr. Freeman will execute a series of paintings based on the subject matter of African American beaches during segregation and Jim Crow. The series will focus on the Eastern seaboard, featuring the communities of Chicken Bone Beach, Atlantic City, NJ; Highland Beach, MD (founded by Charles Douglass, son of Fredrick Douglass); Ocean Beach, and Wrightsville Beach, NC. The paintings will be from the late 19th century through the mid-1960s.
The subject will contain beach life, founders, families and get-togethers, and entertainment. Many locals had venues for dancing, dinners, celebrations, and concerts. They were on the "Chitlin Circuit," and many black performers stayed there as Jim Crow laws prohibited them from accommodations in all White areas. The racial strife and inequities that caused the formation of the beaches will be included. Each canvas will focus separately on each community.
bout The Honfleur Gallery Artist In Residence Program
In a non-conventional residency, the artists can work for over a year in their own space. This annual program is a realization of the vision of the late Sharon Hughes Gautier to provide artists with the necessary time and funding to create their work. This program is a melding of ARCH's ongoing commitment to artists that live and work east of the Anacostia River in Washington, DC, and Sharon's passion for art and her appreciation of a community that is so incredibly rich with history and creative talent. This residency comes with both specific project funding and a monthly stipend. Two grants for FY23 were awarded.
FY 2023 HONFLEUR ARTIST IN RESIDENCY
Mēlani N. Douglass
During her tenure, Mēlani will collaborate with community organizations and partners to use art to activate communities east of the river, focusing on Anacostia. She will work to establish the Family Arts Museum [FAM] as an intergenerational center of creativity and connection here in Washington, DC. Through her socially engaged art practice, Mēlani seeks to provide programming and art experiences that foster relationships in the community. FAM will be a vehicle for artists to engage communities with which they are connected. A diverse group of creators, historians, and cultural architects will be invited to collaborate with her through FAM.
FAM projects are designed to bolster accessibility and inclusion in the arts while expanding notions of who is an artist and what is a museum.

NEW SHOW OPENING THIS SATURDAY 3/4/23!
is pleased to present the next edition in our SOUND PATTERNS Art Exhibition series with No. 8: An exploration of martial arts within the Black aesthetic, on view in Washington, DC at Honfleur Gallery from 3.4.23 – 4.8.23.
There has long been a relationship between martial arts and the African diaspora which goes back for centuries. This relationship has been exhibited in a range of martial arts films where the poor and disenfranchised fight against an oppressive force. This same sense of resiliency and affinity towards martial arts culture has also been referenced in hip hop and black music throughout the ages.
The original works in this exhibition will explore that relationship through the lens of seven artists and their respective mediums:
• Imani K. Brown
• Maurice James Jr.
• Asad “Ultra” Walker
• Kojo Boateng
• Christopher Everett
• Terence Nicholson

🌟NOW SHOWING THROUGH JANUARY 28TH IN BALTIMORE! Emergency Neon by Craig Kraft Studio at Honfleur Gallery at Maryland Art Place. Gallery Hours: Tuesday - Saturday, 12pm to 4pm.
Honfleur Gallery presents a solo exhibition by internationally acclaimed light sculptor Craig Kraft.
Kraft, a Smithsonian instructor for the past 24 years, has used neon light to create monumental outdoor light sculptures, such as Vivace sited at the Watha T. Daniel Library in DC, but now turns his attention to pressing social and political issues such as ignored and unaccounted for missing children, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Trump in American politics, and finding HOPE against all odds.
Neon is used not only because of its attention-grabbing power but also because it is a call to action! Because of this influential medium, the DC Police Department has chosen Kraft as a strong partner to display neon Missing Children posters and highlight the issue throughout the city. The project, launched in late 2021, was born after Kraft watched a television special on missing Indigenous people in the southwest region of the US. This moved Kraft to consider the disproportionate amount of media attention that White Missing persons receive in comparison to other races.
The New York Times published a photo-series by photographer Andre Wagner in August of this year, documenting what Wagner referred to as the theme of Hope in Anacostia, the neighborhood in Southeast Washington D.C. where Kraft’s studio is located.
Kraft simultaneously has a neon project underway, highlighting the elusive nature of hope as something that is hard to find amidst the chaos, conflict, and struggles of everyday life, but that can be transformative when found in unexpected places.
Kraft Studio will roll out a series of glowing white HOPE signs in diverse parts of the metropolitan area in the coming year. Viewers will be challenged to find them, take photos, and participate in a city-wide effort to publicize humanitarian projects in their communities.
Kraft’s exhibition, Emergency Neon, opens December 9th 6PM-9PM, and will be up through Jan 28th of 2023, at 218 West Saratoga Street in Baltimore.
HONFLEUR GALLERY PRESENTS STEVENS JAY CARTER: MODERN MASTER, CURATED BY LUIS DEL VALLE, JAN 14 - FEB 18, 2023
Opening Reception Saturday, January 14, 2023, 5pm - 8pm
Honfleur Gallery, a contemporary art space in Washington, DC's Historic Anacostia neighborhood, is excited to announce its next exhibition featuring a powerful spectrum of work from the late Stevens Jay Carter (1958-2021). Award-winning DC artist Luis Del Valle curates this collection.
Stevens, a dynamic, prolific, and artistically diverse American abstract visual artist, employed a range of mediums - from painting and sculpture to clothing and decor - to articulate his many visions. In recent years, his work addressed the coronavirus pandemic and other critical social issues.
This exhibition features pieces that explore the essence of America in its many forms. Stevens' themes are socially relevant and hopeful, with titles including Amerressence, Emblematic, Corporate Corruption, Euphoria, and Silent.
A humanitarian and community organizer, Stevens extended his vision beyond his work, co-founding Project Brasas in Washington, DC, to showcase artists' work in alternative art spaces in the Penn Quarter community. In his Oakland, California neighborhood, Stevens and his wife Carol co-founded the International Peace and Art Center, hosting events that promoted peace and harmony through the arts. In Stevens' world, joy and hope ruled through musically inspired works shining a much-needed light on the redemptive possibilities of human connection. His ethos and unwavering tenacity to be a positive force through art, rendering peace and harmony, resonates brightly through his collected works.

Stephanie Garon’s Breaking Ground explores humanity’s connection to nature through a gallery-wide immersive installation. Garon’s environmental artworks emphasize the fragility of nature through ecologically motivated interventions. Garon takes what we hear about nature and materialized it in her installation work. Whether the viewer navigates their movements through the installation or reflects on the sculptural decomposition of natural materials, the contemplative space explores how we, as people, interrupt the natural world around us. Her environmental artwork has been exhibited internationally in London, Columbia, and South Korea, as well as across the United States. Breaking Ground opens on April 9th 2021 and runs through May 22, 2021.
