Last Tuesday, the Washington Convention Center opened a DCCAH-sponsored art exhibition, Windows Into DC, that features only DC-based artists.The works will be featured in the Convention Center's ground floor, retail windows, so pedestrians and passing motorists will have the opportunity to view the work as they pass by. The installation gives the otherwise bland storefronts a more vibrant and colorful vibe!

Beane, Kelly Towles, Aneikan Udofia, Colin Winterbottom and The New Community for Children. 

The installation will be open through March 2010.
