FUN
February 17-March 23, 2024
Curated by Heloisa Escudero
Life is hard, and current times are no exception. As we enter the new year, our perspective should be motivated for a positive state of mind, leading us to a successful cycle. In this exhibition, the concept is simple: to provide that extra enticement to live our lives to the fullest. Put aside all the things that bring you down and focus on art that visually represents the lighter side of life.
Artists: Travis Childers, Irene Clouthier, Emily Hoxworth Hager,
Jessica Kallista, Scott Larson, Akemi Maegawa, Megan Maher, Carolina Mayorga, Frank McCauley, Zsudayka Nzinga, Olivia Tripp Morrow, Kiel Posner, Johab Silva, Gabriel Soto, James S. Terrell

March 10, 5-7PM
Join us for a deep dive conversation about fun. What is it, how do we find it, what role does it play in art?
Also! 5, five minute performances. Talented performers include: Naomi Le, Emily Hoxworth and Carolina Mayorga.
This month is all about FUN at OSAP. Tell us what fun means to you.
Never in Our Image - ACT II - A Gun Melting Ceremony
July 8th, 2023
"Never in Our Image" is a three-part, Queer gun destruction opera by Stephanie Mercedes. Act II is hosted by Otis Street Arts Project and sponsored by CulturalDC.
During ACT II - A Gun Melting Ceremony, raw pitches and tones will be sampled from the act of melting the cut pieces collected in ACT I. As the former weapons are cast into musical instruments and sculptural art pieces, the hissing and popping of the action will be recorded for use in the final Act. Organ pipes attached to the iron furnace and the casting molds will create pitches and vibrations, creating a meditative sound experience for the audience. Singers, musicians, and dancers will respond to the various sounds of guns being destroyed and transformed into sonic sculptures and instruments.
The process of composition reflects the process of destruction. In this opera, by queering sound and metal, we ask ourselves the question: how can we reclaim materials that were never made in our image?
ALBERTOPALOOZA
The Self-Organizing Systems of Alberto Gaitán
April 1 - June 3, 2023
Alberto Gaitán was a composer, performer, and artist who studied how structures and networks can arise out of chaotic systems. He worked on solo projects and for over 30 years was a magnet for a thoughtful community of eccentric collaborators in the fields of art, science, and technology. Woven into the fabric of those collaborations were his wisdom, mischief, and generosity.
This exhibition showcases Gaitán's lifelong exploration of how humans cope with entropy using limited resources, imperfect memories, and unreliable tools.
Gallery Hours: Saturdays 12-4 and by appointment

Union (When Two Make One)
Extended Through December 11th, 2021
It reads like a tale from a Modern Love column. Some six years ago, writer and cultural icon Gareth Branwyn met artist Angela White at one of Otis Street Arts Project’s jam-packed openings. And now, on that very spot, they were wed.
Their love story is the inspiration for the concurrent show at Otis Street Art Project, entitled UNION (When Two Makes One).
UNION is a collaborative show exploring the concept of the third entity, when 1+1 makes one. It is what Branwyn calls the “magical child” that is created whenever humans come together to form a new kind of union.
In UNION, we see the results of eight pairs of artists coming together to create a single work that expresses each artist individually, and the artwork being the “magical child” made by both.
The show also celebrates the artists resilience to create during a pandemic. Some how each pair found ways to communicate their ideas, and ways to create the art…safely and vibrantly. It emphasizes the optimistic hope that we are not alone and that by working collaboratively, we actually create more.
The artists paired together are:
Eames Armstrong - Rania Hassan
Megan B-Chriss - Bradley Chriss
Travis Childers - Jenna North
Alonzo Davis - Mimi Frank
Maribeth Egan - Rob Parrish
Alberto Gaitán - James Huckenpahler
Zofie King - Kyujin Lee
Armando López Bircann - Carolina Mayorga
Jessica van Brakle - Zac Willis
Simon Void Boy - Blake Maloof
Gallery Hours During the exhibition: 12-4 PM Saturdays, Tue-Fri by appointment

Integration : Heloisa Escudero
March 30, 2019
Solo Exhibition of new work created for Otis Street Arts Project by Heloisa Escudero.
March 30- May 4th.
Special performance April 27th 2-5 PM.
Every human being follows a unique life path, with no two paths being alike. All of these paths are governed by countless life equations, where all of our phobias, fears and anxieties are parameters and variables that define a part of this equation, and the values of which may determine our learning directions. The solutions to these multivariable and complicated equations are held inside each of us, we hold all the secrets to our unique self. This exhibition aims at the realization of the (unique) self. By direct visualization of our phobias, it makes our parameters explicit. And by creation of rituals that provide positive thinking, it aims at finding solutions to our life equations. One of the main goals is that the viewer actively integrates their life path while interacting with the art.

Artist: Claudia Vess, Ellyn Weiss, Erwin Timmers, Gregg Hannan, Glenn Richardson, Jacqui Crocetta, Paul Hrusa, Scott Brooks, Wayson Jones and Yar Koporulin
“The Wall,” seems to be on everyone’s mind lately. What are walls, what do they accomplish and how do we as a society perceive the word wall? Walls can be used as protection, prisons, barriers that keep others out or keep us locked in. Walls can isolate and further divide us from what we have in common. Or a wall can simply be a nice place to hang a painting. Curator Molly Ruppert poses these questions to a select group of artists.
Wall Smashing Party March 9th 7-10 PM. Come join us for a night of listening to Pink Floyd while smashing down Glenn Richardson’s Border Wall.

"Trials to Formulate a Utopia" A Series of Drawings by Buenos Aires Artist Roma Blanco
February 10, 2019
Opening Reception February 10th, 4-6 PM
Trials to Formulate a Utopia, is a project thought specifically for Washington DC by Buenos Aires artist
Roma Blanco. Her work reflects the occultist connotations that are included in the founding cartography of the city.
Her exploration brings her to Washington DC to study the symbolism, themes and ideals of American Freemasons-known for brotherhood and utopian thinking since colonial times.
This exhibition is the result of work created by Roma Blanco at Otis Street Arts Project during a residency in January 2019. The residency was a joint partnership between PANAL361, Rising Artist Network and Otis Street Arts Project.
For many settlers, coming to the New World (the American colonies) meant a new destiny full of opportunities, the desire to live life in a community where they could be free and happy. The book Utopia, by Thomas More, the New Jerusalem for Masons, the description of The Republic by Plato, and the Paradise in religious tales, all coincide with this idyllic plan to settle down in a place where healthy human and political conditions could be established for life in a community. The American Independence also embodied this romantic idea of developing a new social order that could come close to the spirit of the “Utopia” (No Topos: place that does not exist).
About the Artist:
Roma Blanco, was born in Mar del Plata, Argentina 1977. She lives and works in Buenos Aires. She is a Professor of Visual Arts and Museologist, graduated from the Martin Malharro School of Visual Arts (Mar del Plata, Argentina), and the Institute of Teacher and Technical Training No. 8 (La Plata, Argentina). https://www.romablanco.com

May 14, 2016
The Resident Artists at Otis Street Arts Project (OSAP) work in a variety of media from a diverse background. Working in a group studio situation, all work gets seen and talked about continuously. There are no doors separating the studios and discourse from artist to artist inspires each to further develop their voice and individual practice. Founded in Spring of 2015, they have opened their doors to tour groups, student groups, bands, DJ’s, art critics, galleriests, artists, art collectors, and the general public. Their resident artists have exhibited in international exhibits, national art fairs in Chicago, Miami, and New York, and widely in DC area galleries and art centers.
