ABOUT CH/ART
Ch/Art (pronounced “chart”) is a 501c(3) registered nonprofit community arts organization serving Chevy Chase, D.C. and Maryland. Ch/Art was founded in 2018 by a small group of artists who wanted to create a supportive community to collaborate, grow their art, and share their work. Alongside this, the group sought to develop new opportunities for the community to access art and engage in art making.
Annually Ch/Art produces a very successful Art Walk of local artists’ homes and studios, participates in Chevy Chase Day, holds exhibitions at local venues or online, and has monthly member meetings—often with intriguing speakers. Our tax ID # is 83-3272999.
Our Mission
Our mission is to create a supportive community for local artists by providing opportunities to collaborate, learn, and share their artwork; to promote education in the visual arts; to create opportunities for people of all ages, artistic abilities, and economic backgrounds to experience and participate in the artistic process; and to build and strengthen community through the visual arts.
Support Artists
We nurture a growing community of local artists by creating opportunities to collaborate, develop new skills, exhibit their work, and increase their visibility.
Connect Art & Community
We organize exhibitions and an annual community art walk that expand access to the visual arts and foster dialogue between artists and the community.
Create Learning Opportunities
Through artist talks, hands-on workshops, and community events, we invite people to learn about the visual arts and participate in the creative process.
