Join us for Art Enables After Hours on Thursday, February 20 from 6 to 8 p.m., where you can explore the gallery in a relaxed, after-hours setting with delicious light bites and refreshing libations. It’s the perfect way to wind down, connect with fellow art lovers, and soak in some incredible artwork.

On view will be "Animal, Vegetable, Popsicle," a playful exhibition that reimagines the natural world with whimsical takes on animals, plants, and sweets. In "Proximity," the artists explore how closeness, whether comforting or uncomfortable, impacts relationships and space. Lastly, "Relic of My Time" transforms everyday objects into meaningful artifacts, reflecting on personal history and identity. From intricate details to playful surprises, each collection of work invites you to see the world through the lens of our resident artists.

At Art Enables, we believe in the power of art to uplift, connect, and inspire. As DC’s only nonprofit studio and gallery dedicated to supporting artists with disabilities, we provide a platform for talented artists to develop their practice, exhibit their work, and be recognized in the contemporary art scene. Every piece you see is more than just art—it’s a celebration of creative expression and inclusion.

Come for the art, stay for the company, and leave with a deeper love for our arts community! RSVP today to experience our art, after dark.
