SUMMARY:Medea by Euripides
DESCRIPTION:Adapted and directed by Jaqueline Youm  \n\n\n\nIs Medea a vehicle of personal revenge or is she pushed to the brink of insanity to do the unthinkable? Medea is a sorceress who is a refugee in a foreign land with her two sons. Her husband Jason is wooed by King Creon to marry Creon’s daughter and thus\, to abandon Medea. This centuries-old tale and its themes of betrayal\, misogyny\, and revenge still resonate and ring strongly in our modern day.

SUMMARY:Elisa Mayes: Service & Sanctuary - Between Use and Meaning
DESCRIPTION:Between Use and Meaning brings together ceramic and textile works that explore the shifting role of handmade objects. Familiar forms\, vessels\, and stitched coverings rooted in traditions of care and daily use appear alongside sculptural works that move beyond function. Through clay and cloth\, these works reflect on protection\, memory\, and quiet defiance. Objects shaped in service that hold space\, endure\, and gently resist the structures meant to contain them.

SUMMARY:Brilliant Brushes: Where Light Falls 
DESCRIPTION:Where Light Falls features Brilliant Brushes\, a collective of six local watercolor artists who regularly paint together and gather monthly to reflect on shared challenges and creative growth. United by a fascination with the effects of light\, the group embraces watercolor for its unique luminosity and transparency\, making it an ideal medium for capturing light in its many forms. In this exhibition\, the artists explore how light moves through a landscape\, highlights individual subjects\, reflects and filters through space\, and casts delicate shadows—revealing shape\, defining form\, and transforming color through their individual interpretations.

SUMMARY:Hu Zeqian: New Century Garden 
DESCRIPTION:New Century Garden presents the work of Chinese artist Hu Zeqian\, who now lives and works in Washington\, D.C. For Hu\, painting is not merely technical but deeply personal\, reflecting the complexity of human experience. His use of vivid color\, often associated with joy and prosperity\, carries layered meaning\, evoking both beauty and unease\, much like the warning signals found in nature. Through balancing visual allure with conceptual depth\, Hu’s paintings reveal that beneath beauty also lies complexity.

SUMMARY:Brilliant Brushes: Where Light Falls - Public Reception
DESCRIPTION:Where Light Falls features Brilliant Brushes\, a collective of six local watercolor artists who regularly paint together and gather monthly to reflect on shared challenges and creative growth. United by a fascination with the effects of light\, the group embraces watercolor for its unique luminosity and transparency\, making it an ideal medium for capturing light in its many forms. In this exhibition\, the artists explore how light moves through a landscape\, highlights individual subjects\, reflects and filters through space\, and casts delicate shadows—revealing shape\, defining form\, and transforming color through their individual interpretations.
