Tom Wolff's U Street Portrait Project

About This Event

Nationally recognized photographer Tom Wolff focuses on local business owners, residents, and artists that together make up D.C.'s U Street Corridor in his most recent series, U Street Portrait Project.

Wolff looks beyond the facades to meet his subjects and engage the individuals that make up this incredible neighborhood. His approach is simple; walk into a store just as one would in their daily routine, strike up a conversation, and ask for a photograph. Accordingly, when viewing Wolff's portraits one begins to feel like he/she is paused in an intimate conversation with the subject, and it is at that moment that Wolff has reacquainted us with our neighbor. He encourages us to stop, see our neighbors, and recognize that this vibrant neighborhood is not just comprised of the trendy new restaurants or bars, but also the people who enliven and enrich this community.

The U Street Portrait Project will run from October 28 to December 17, with an opening reception on Friday, November 4 from 7-9 pm.

The Gallery is open Wednesday to Friday, 11am-5pm and Saturday, 11am-3pm, and by appointment.
