Prior shows have garnered large and lively interest. According to The Georgetowner, the inaugural show âwas packedâ and offered Georgetownâs âgentler contributions to the world of art,â which are often eclipsed by its âpolitical locus.â In 2014, nearly 1,000 people attended the show. The Citizens Association of Georgetown invites all to view the varied artwork and enjoy the creativity of local artists at House of Sweden. Plus visitors to the show can enter a drawing to win a special work of art! Continue to page 5 for list of this yearâs artists.
