Painting For Change
Monday, January 3, 2005(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)
The new exhibit at the George Meany Memorial Archives features eleven
paintings by Carol Carter, an established St. Louis artist working primarily in
large-scale watercolors and acrylics. The exhibition is based on the rural
town of Belle Glade, Florida, and includes large-scale watercolors of Belle
Glades’ landscape and agricultural workers. Carter’s goal is to
educate viewers about the social consequences and human dilemmas facing Belle
Glade and communities like it. The show runs through April 30 at the Meany
Center, 10000 New Hampshire Avenue in Silver Spring, MD. Exhibit hours: M–Th
8A–9P; F 8A–4:30P; closed Saturday, Sunday and holidays.
