SUMMARY:“Women Artists of the DMV” Opens at Falls Church Arts Gallery on January 10\, 2026 with Meet-the-Artists Reception
DESCRIPTION:This groundbreaking survey of female visual artists from the District of Columbia\, Maryland\, and Virginia was selected by D.C.-based artist\, critic\, and curator Florencio Lennox "Lenny" Campello. The exhibition opens with a "meet-the-artists" reception scheduled for January 10 from 7:00 9:00 p.m. The event\, which is free and open to the public\, will provide visitors with the opportunity to meet participating artists and Campello\, as well as to vote for the People's Choice Award winner.\n\n\n\nThe sixty artists participating in "Women Artists of the DMV" at Falls Church Arts demonstrate the creative power\, vibrancy\, and diversity of local female artists. Pieces on view will range widely in scale\, style\, and approach and are in a variety of media\, including acrylic on canvas\, acrylic on gesso wood\, oil on canvas\, oil on panel\, photography\, collage\, mixed media\, watercolor and gouache\, etching\, intaglio print\, and terracotta.\n\n\n\nCampello conceived this groundbreaking exhibition some twenty years ago as an opportunity to showcase well-established local female artists and to present mid-career and emerging artists to a wider audience. He began actively planning "Women Artists of the DMV" in 2023 and eventually received nearly 4\,000 entries for the project. The resulting series of eighteen shows in 2025 included over 600 works. An entirely new selection of works will be on view at Falls Church Arts in this nineteenth installment of the exhibition.\n\n\n\nThe Falls Church Arts gallery is at 700-B West Broad St. (Route 7)\, Falls Church.
