Gallery OonH (1354 H Street)is once again hosting the art show EMULSION.

An emulsion combines two seemingly incompatible ingredients to produce a third yet entirely new substance.  In this spirit, EMULSION, now in its second year, seeks to show visitors a wide array of art forms and mediums - from two-dimensional work to performance based work - to create a unified ensemble.

East City Art and Phil Hutinet are pleased to announce Gallerist Adah Rose Bitterbaum has selected 31 applicants from the greater Washington-Baltimore region to exhibit at EMULSION. Three cash prizes will be awarded to the first, second and third place contestants on opening night. 

“EMULSION is the region’s premiere showcase for contemporary artists from the Washington-Baltimore metropolitan area,” says EMULSION Producer Phil Hutinet. “The great number of applicants demonstrates the wealth of artistic talent in our region. In our second edition, EMULSION 2015 will display the works of 31 diverse artists, from sculptors to painters to performance artists.”

From opening night through Friday, March 27, the audience will be able to select their favorite artist and vote via text messaging. The votes will be tallied and top two artists will receive the EMULSION People’s Choice Award. Winners will be announced on Saturday March, 28 at the closing.
