About
Ch/Art is a nonprofit community arts organization serving Chevy Chase, D.C. and Chevy Chase, Maryland. Ch/Art was founded in 2018 by a small group of artists who came together to create a supportive community for artists to collaborate and share their work. Alongside this, the group sought to develop new opportunities for the community to access art and engage in art making. In its first year, Ch/Art participated in the annual Chevy Chase Day, held an exhibition at the Chevy Chase Community Center, and started monthly meetings and weekly Open Studios available to the community.
