Legacy: Civil Rights at 60 Exhibition Reception

Join the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities in our 200 I St Gallery for a reception to celebrate our latest exhibition, Legacy: Civil Rights at 60. This juried exhibition commemorates the 60th anniversary of the passing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which aimed to prohibit discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. By visually depicting the material, personal, and direct-action work of the past 60 years through the artworks of DC-based artists, this exhibition is a call to continue pursuing equity and social justice locally and nationally. 

For reasonable accommodation requests regarding access and inclusion, please contact Travis Marcus (travis.marcus@dc.gov), no later than 5 business days prior to the start of this event.
