The Arts for Healing
Smith Farm Center for Healing and the Arts on U Street NW has always had an art gallery; it was just hard to find. And small. And in the administrative office. The nonprofit center, which serves people with cancer and other serious illnesses, reopened the Healing Arts Gallery last month with an exhibition called "Immersed in the Natural World."
"By dedicating this space and holding shows that promote the arts as tools for healing, it makes a statement," Smith Farm Executive Director Shanti Norris says.
The street-level gallery is in a space formerly occupied by a pet store. The nature-themed debut show features work by Elizabeth Burger, Tai Hwa Goh and Novie Trump, whose work includes seed pods, waxed paper and eggshells, respectively.
Elizabeth Burger and Novie Trump will talk about their work tomorrow, 5:30-8 p.m. at the Healing Arts Gallery, 1632 U St. NW. Free. 202-483-8600.
