On December 20th Cynthia Connolly, Ellipse Arts Center Director, and Lisa Marie Thalhammer, Ellipse Arts Center Educational Programmer, took an all day bike tour around DC to various art galleries around town. This outing sparked the initial planning of an Arlington County Arts Bike Tour (which Cynthia is currently mapping out).
The ladies started out in Georgetown at Addison/Ripley Fine Art before heading to District Fine Arts where Cynthia Connolly’s photographs were on display.

Flying back down Mass Ave Lisa Marie stops to view the beautiful scenery over Rock Creek Park before heading to one of the Ellipse staff’s favorite arts destinations, Provisions Library located in Dupont Circle.
“Provisions is a social change learning resource amplifying compelling voices that challenge and redefine the mainstream. Provisions places great value on the power of the arts - literature, visual art, new media, theatre, music - to speak across national and cultural boundaries and provide a critical lens through which to see the world”.

Then the ladies headed to 7th Street to visit the Warehouse Arts Complex where Civilian Art Projects launched its new program with the exhibition Dynamic Field. Lily Cox-Richard’s mixed media installation below entitled Red Roofed Bungalow was a favorite.
