The Capitol Hill Arts Workshop will offer a series of four Sumi-e ink workshops in March starting this Saturday.  Ink-wash painting traces its origins as far back as the Tang Dynasty in China (618-907 AD).  Take all four workshops or pick the dates that suit you best.  Each Saturday will focus on a different plant as follows: bamboo, orchid, plum blossom and chrysanthemum.

CHAW is located at 545 7th Street SE

RandallScottProjects– 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
In Pages from the Neon Bible, Mason Saltarrelli draws inspiration from religious iconography and focuses on the concept of martyrdom.  His reflections result in the creation of sculptures constructed by chance and derived by rapid drawn images which will also be on display.  This is the artist’s second exhibition with RSP.  For more information on Saltarrelli, click here.
