This year’s Capitol Hill Art League Juried Exhibition was juried by Alan Braley, Capitol Hill Artist, and Nicky Cymrot, Director of Hill Center Galleries. Members of the Capitol Hill Art League (CHAL) were invited to submit original hanging work, in any medium, to be considered. 36 local artists were selected to display their work at Hill Center, showcasing 100 pieces total. A reception to celebrate the opening of this exhibit will take place at Hill Center on Monday, June 13th, 6:30pm-8:00pm. Please join us to tour the art and enjoy refreshments in the garden (weather permitting).
