GENESIS - Mari Calai 

Upcoming Exhibition  

September 21 - November 10 

​

Opening Reception: Sat, Sept 21, 4-6pm 

 

We are delighted to unveil GENESIS, the solo exhibition of our Artist in Residence, Mari Calai. 

In the words of Mari, “GENESIS combines my resonance with sacred geometry found in both the natural and constructed world, with symbols of my familiar roots represented by heirloom doilies made by my mother. This body of work weaves these into a cohesive whole with one of my believes ’as above so below’, the idea that what we are on the inside will be created in the word around us.”

Learning to See

- Beyond the Surface

Current Online Exhibition

Exhibition: September 18 - November 18

 

​Photoworks is proud to exhibit the work of Carolina Zumaran-Jones. Carolina is an avid photographer and long time friend of Photoworks. 

​

In her own words: Through this series of images, I explore the journey of becoming a photographer—an evolution that is as much about cultivating a mindset as it is about mastering the technical skills. This selection of vignettes reflects my path from botanicals to street photography and portraits, illustrating a creative evolution marked by learning to see and discovering my voice."

Handmade Photo Group

At Glen Echo Photoworks 

Every Monday at 6pm

​

We are a group of photographers who gather on Monday nights at 6:00 pm at Photoworks at Glen Echo Park to explore historic photo processes together, including but not limited to: cyanotype, salted paper, platinum/palladium and wet plate collodian. Sometimes we print; sometimes we chat and share ideas. Always we support and learn from each other.
