Barista Cafe Wall

Dear Ch/Art members,

I'm thrilled to announce that we are now accepting submissions for the Ch/Art gallery wall that will be an ongoing feature at "Barista," the soon-to-be opening coffee shop in the Chevy Chase Arcade. A huge thanks to Ch/Art member Kimoy Lallement for making this happen!

“Barista” will soon be opening in The Arcade at 5520 Connecticut Avenue, with an estimated opening date of early-mid June. The owner, Mike Abbariki, has agreed to reserve a gallery wall dedicated to Ch/Art members that will rotate every 6-8 weeks throughout the year. The wall is approximately 22'-0" wide and 12'-0" high.

Ch/Art members are eligible to submit up to two pieces per 6-8 week show. All submitted artwork must be available for purchase by members of the public. Artwork not sold during the show may be replaced with artwork of a similar size, depending upon the needs of the owner to maintain the appearance of the gallery wall.

For this first show, the application will remain open to submissions until space is full or on May 20th, whichever comes first. There will be no fees or commissions charged in connection with this opportunity.

Please note that the gallery wall will be curated by Kimoy, on behalf of the shop owner. The curator and shop owner retain full discretion as to the selection of art they deem appropriate for the space.
