LOVE, HOPE, & ART

Curated by DMV League of Artists member, Luis Peralta Del Valle, and hosted by the Anacostia Arts Center in Southeast, DC, Love, Hope, & Art is a group exhibition that celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month.

It was created to show diversity of the culture and commonality throughout many cultures. The name Woven Thread is based on quilt making, a long tradition. "There are different pieces of fabric. Even when they don’t match, when you look at the whole, there is a beautiful tapestry. America is that tapestry. A single thread, unites us. Artists, entrepreneurs and developers working together can unite to make a tight knit community.

"We focus too much on the differences. Look at the commonalities and how we can expand and learn about each other. " Luis Peralta Del Valle

Artists listed: Vicente Dez Zambrano, Carmen T. Quander, and Joel Elmuer.
