Senior Fellow, Foundation for Defense of Democracies
John D. Podesta of the Center for American Progress, Douglas Holtz-Eakin of the American Action
Forum, and Al Hunt of Bloomberg invite you to join us for a debate on foreign policy and the U.S.
strategic approach toward Iran.
Iran lies at the center of a geopolitical hotspot. Situated between Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan,
Iran controls vast oil reserves, a sizable military force, and most notably, a robust uranium enrichment
program. The country has been the target of international sanctions for decades, and protests in
2009 revealed deep dissatisfaction among Iranians with their government. Should the U.S. continue
international pressure and increased sanctions against Iran or focus on a military solution? Can an
Iranian nuclear weapon be prevented? What role should America play in the transition to a peaceful
Iranian democracy?
Please join us as Brian Katulis, Senior Fellow at the Center for American Progress, and Reuel Marc
Gerecht, Senior Fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, engage in lively discussion
and debate on a sensible foreign policy solution to Iran.

In the years since September 11, 2001, media reports claim that so called “homegrown” terrorism has increased in
the U.S. A recently released Bipartisan Policy Center report indicates that U.S. authorities failed to realize that a
group of Somali-American youths traveling from Minnesota to Mogadishu in 2008 to join extremists was not an
isolated issue. Instead, the movement was one among several instances of a broader, more diverse threat that has
surfaced across the country. How serious a threat is homegrown terrorism in the U.S.? How has the U.S.
government reacted to the prospect of homegrown terrorists? What, if any, civil liberties have been traded away to
combat this alleged threat?
The following are our esteemed Panelists:
Laura K. Donohue, Ph.D., J.D. – Associate Professor of Law at Georgetown Law, and a faculty affiliate of
Georgetown’s Center on National Security and the Law.

VSA presents a conversation with Aimee

Mullins on innovative thinking, art, and
disability, moderated by Kristen Hileman,
curator of contemporary art at the
Baltimore Museum of Art.
Aimee Mullins is a record-setting track star, a fashion muse, and a magnetic film
presence. She is also the owner of more than a dozen pairs of prosthetic legs,
many of which have been exhibited in museums. By challenging the conventional
ideas of disability and beauty, Mullins boldly re-imagines the body's physical and
artistic potential.
Several of Mullins' prosthetic legs - including the hand-carved wooden set

designed by Alexander McQueen detailed at right - will be on display the evening
of the talk.

Seating is unreserved general admission, 380 seats.
Patti Marxsen will read from her collection of short stories, Tales from the Heart of Haiti, published earlier this year by Educa
Vision, the premier Haitian-American publishing firm in the U.S.
Marxsen, who came to know Haiti in the 1990s through her association with Haiti’s Hospital Albert Schweitzer, speaks of the
impetus for her stories as “my fascination with Haiti as a nation, a culture, and a land of contrasts dependent on foreign aid. I began
with the unfulfilled promise of Haitian Independence from France, in 1804, of Haiti as the first black republic prepared to control
its own destiny in the wake of a stunningly successful slave revolution.”
In her stories, Marxsen presents a complex perspective of the Haitian people by writing of their interactions with those who come
from somewhere else and try to help. As we have seen in the months since the Earthquake of January 12, 2010, Haiti overflows
with expatriates and missionaries. But how much do foreign “helpers” see and know? “Only when we allow ourselves to enter into
that mysterious world of Haitian feeling, Haitian spirituality, Haitian loss, and Haitian violence do we begin to understand the
boundaries and the connections,” Marxsen says. “I have written these stories with the hope of understanding that particular
‘otherness’ that is sadly, beautifully, wildly, and proudly Haitian.”
In addition to her reading, Marxsen will address the current situation in Haiti by delineating the most urgent needs and by sharing
her views on how international organizations can best help to meet those needs by deepening their understanding of Haitian
history and culture. In particular, she will raise questions about how NGOs and the Interim Commission for the Recovery of Haiti,
co-chaired by former President Bill Clinton and Haitian Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive, have helped or hindered progress. “I
always go back to an invaluable piece of advice from the co-founder of Hospital Albert Schweitzer, Gwen Mellon. ‘Never forget, you
are a guest in this country.’” With this advice in mind, Marxsen adds, “Guests behave differently than saviors.”
Patti Marxsen is a former French teacher and has served as a communications manager in several non-profit organizations in New
England, including a Boston-base peace and justice institute. Her Haiti-related writings have been published in the Caribbean
Writer, The French Review, the Journal of Haitian Studies, New Century Voices, and the Women’s Review of Books. In addition to
Tales from the Heart of Haiti, she is the author of Island Journeys: Exploring the Legacy of France (2008), which includes an
essay on Haiti. She is also a board member of the Haitian Studies Association and has played an active role in organizing the
annual conference at Brown University, November 11-14, with the theme of “Haiti, History, and Healing: Facing the Challenges
of Reconstruction.” Marxsen lives in Switzerland with her husband, a retired surgeon.
You are cordially invited to an event for young professionals

Since President Obama's 2009 disarmament speech in Prague, nuclear nonproliferation has been at the forefront of the
current administration's foreign policy. One of the key administration arguments made in favor of concluding a New
START agreement is that it will help promote nonproliferation by fulfilling the requirement of the Nuclear Nonproliferation
Treaty (NPT) i.e., that the superpowers make progress toward nuclear disarmament. Yet, as nuclear technology spreads
both for civilian and illicit military purposes, it is hardly clear if the goal of nuclear nonproliferation can be reached without
additional, new initiatives in addition to those the administration has already launched.
Recently, the House Committee on Foreign Affairs and the House Subcommittee on Terrorism, Nonproliferation and
Trade held hearings to examine how sound U.S. and international nuclear nonproliferation controls are and how the U.S.
might upgrade its nuclear nonproliferation restraints to address these new threats. What nuclear nonproliferation threats
does Congress believe need to be met with new initiatives, and what might these new approaches be?
Join us for a panel discussion on these issues with Edward A. Burrier, Professional Legislative Staff for Rep. Ed Royce,
Ranking Member of the House Subcommittee on Terrorism, Nonproliferation and Trade; Don MacDonald, Majority Staff
Director for the House Subcommittee on Terrorism, Nonproliferation and Trade; and Henry D. Sokolski, Executive Director
of the Nonproliferation Policy Education Center. John Noonan, Policy Advisor at the Foreign Policy Initiative, will
moderate the panel.

The America Project: utopia
Part 1 of an ambitious black and white photography project by this
CalArts graduate including 36 images documenting road trips taken
by the artist across the country over the past several years. Images
capture cultural markers of American history such as the Biosphere in
Oracle, Arizona, Ponce de Leon's Fountain of Youth in St. Augustine,
Florida, the duct tape "x" marking the spot of Kennedy's
assassination at Dealey Plaza in Dallas, TX. "utopia", the exhibition,
documents the highest and lowest of the collective American dream.
Essay by Larissa Leclair. Tan's work is in many public and private

collections including the Hirshhorn Museum & Sculpture Garden, the
Corcoran Gallery of Art, and the Albright-Knox Gallery.
Remote
A contemporary photography exhibition of four cutting-edge women

photographers. Featuring Lisa K. Blatt (San Francisco, CA), Lely
Constantinople (Washington, DC), Kate MacDonnell (Washington,
DC), and E. Brady Robinson (Washington, DC & Orlando, FL),
"Remote" refers to the desolate far reaches of the mind and the land
- places hard to reach but rich with reward when found and
discovered. Images of Antartica, compliment hypnotic ethereal
images of the sun and sky. Mysterious pictures of Paris, and romantic
images of Mexico connect and thread the desolation of the desert and
the rich colors of the evening sky. Don't miss this gorgeous show!

Candlelight Veneration
Eric Hibit | Picture Cohesion
Friday, October 29, 6:00-7:00 p.m.

Curator's Office
1515 14th Street NW
Suite 201
(202) 387-1008
Curator's Office becomes a chapel aglow once again next Friday evening as we "venerate the
elements" of Eric Hibit's "Picture Cohesion" exhibition by candlelight. Sacred autumnal wine will
be served.
Picture Cohesion explores how the urban environment and consumerism affect the process of
making art. Using bold visual contrasts of color and texture, the artist presents a collection of
made and found objects that are in conversation with each other. With a gifted eye for collecting
and a deft hand at making, Hibit fashions a truly unique visual experience that could be
categorized as a breed of NEW AMERICAN FOLK BAROQUE. The exhibition engages in raw, camp,
kitschy, fruity aesthetics.
The artist's impulse to embellish the work speaks to many artistic traditions that tend towards
pulsating, all-over activity. Medieval reliquaries, art of the Mexican Baroque, Hindu Temples, and
certain forms of obsessive folk art demonstrate a similar impulse to activate an object with
ornamentation. Such pre-modernist comparisons point to the artist's sensibility.
The artist's preoccupation with boundaries is evident In this exhibition, boundaries between areas
of culture are played with, and notions of good/bad taste and high/low class are conflated. Such
instincts for cultural signs are played against an artistic practice that emphasizes process, craft,
and the hand-made qualities of an object.
Eric Hibit received his undergraduate degree from the Corcoran College of Art and Design and his
MFA from Yale University. He has exhibited at Anna Kustera Gallery, Max Protetch Gallery, and
Satori Gallery in New York. He has shown internationally in Giverny, France. Most recently, the
artist exhibited this summer at Geoffrey Young Gallery in Great Barrington, Massachussetts.

Scott Brooks' work reflects the political and economic turmoil that takes up the head space
of those who are paying attention. "We the People" maintains the detailed figures and
story-telling themes Brooks has become known for, albeit on a much larger scale. In the
past, Brooks' message was often subtle, hidden in his elaborate tableaus. In contrast, "We
the People" blatantly speaks to the pop-culture-obsessed and politically-charged
landscape in which Brooks lives today.

Foundation
The Palestine Center is an independent think-tank committed to communicating reliable and objective
information about the Palestinian political experience to American policy makers, journalists, students and
the general public. Established in 1991, it is the educational program of the Jerusalem Fund for Education
and Community Development.
The Palestine Center brings together people and resources within the American and Palestinian
communities to educate about Palestine and the Palestinian people's ongoing quest for sovereignty on
their land, civil and political rights and an end to Israeli occupation.
The need for an organization such as The Palestine Center can be found in the effects of the economic,
cultural and political oppression Palestinians have endured and which continues on a daily basis in East
Jerusalem, the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, the surrounding refugee camps and for Palestinians world-wide
as they struggle to retain their homeland.
Palestinians' ability to maintain their daily lives and strengthen their democratic political system depends
on international humanitarian and non-governmental organizations such as The Palestine Center.

Sarah Lindley "Poppenhuizen"

We are pleased to announce our gallery's presentation of this
extraordinary exhibition of Sarah Lindley's ceramic sculptures based on
17th and 18th Century Dutch Cabinet Houses. A genre of Dutch furniture,
poppenhuizen were exquisite, miniature houses appointed with all the
comforts and luxuries of the Amsterdam homes they reproduced in every
tiny detail. Lindley's half-scale, skeletal renditions express her interest in the
cabinets' architectural structures, as well as their careful proportions and
design flourishes. Though ostensibly a doll's house, Petronella Oortman's
poppenhuis cost 30,000 guilders in 1670, almost enough to purchase a real
house at that time; thus these follies were clearly not child's play. Likewise,
Lindley's sculptures transcend their role as beautiful decorative objects,
painting an imaginary, yet informative picture of the elite interiors of this
period of material and artistic abundance. Lindley creates more austere
poppenhuizen but applies the same obsessive and confounding
craftsmanship found in the originals by making them in clay. The results are
exquisite contemporary sculpture full of rich, metaphorical content.
Sarah Lindley received her BFA from the famed ceramics department at
Alfred University in NY and her MFA in ceramics from the University of
Washington. She currently teaches sculpture and ceramics at Kalamazoo
College in Michigan. Lindley has received numerous grants and awards for
her work and has recently completed a prestigious residency at the Kohler
Co. Factory in upstate NY. In addition to her significant solo shows,
Lindley's original, furniture-based sculpture has been included in
challenging group exhibitions as far flung as France and Korea.

FRANK HALLAM DAY: RV

October 29 - December 4, 2010
Please join us for an opening reception

Addison/Ripley Fine Art
1670 Wisconsin Avenue NW
(202) 338-5180
In celebration of Fotoweek DC 2010, Addison/Ripley Fine Art is pleased to present "RV" a new body of
photographs by Washington DC, based photographer Frank Hallam Day. In his fourth exhibition at
Addison/Ripley Fine Art, Day continues to be convincing as a master of concept, technology and
provocative aesthetics. The viewer is at once drawn into the dramatic realm of the RV, curious about its
inhabitants while, at the same time, kept at a distance by the "gated community" that is the essence of both
each particular RV and their surrounding and often intimidating landscape. Day describes them as,
"...overtly theatrical, the foliage surrounding the RV's often looks like a scenery prop...intended to look
staged, almost dreamlike, half-way between fantasy and reality, exercises in artifice". As such, they share a
current interest of contemporary photography and places Day in the ranks of its most accomplished
practitioners.
While the photographs are intended to look overtly theatrical, presenting a staged dreamlike reality, they are
not Photoshop constructions, but, rather, a demonstration of the artist's technical skill. For this body of
work, Day has been on the road, in Florida, with lights and a tripod scouting appropriate RV's that will
express, "...the night song of a dark American dream; lovely and glowing, yet somehow toxic and chilling."
Using artificial lighting and time exposures he alters and manipulates nature with convincing, often
disturbing, results.
Day's recent curatorial success with PORTRAY, an exhibition of work by Washington area artists and his
inclusion as finalist in Voies Off 2010 in Arles, France mark him as a powerful force in both his home town
and internationally.

We invite you to attend our opening reception for "Night of the Living Art." Trick-
or-treat and bring the kids out for an alternative haunted house experience! In spirit
of this eerie holiday, explore the "dark" creativity and view local artists' paranormal
pieces taking inspiration from classic horror films, historical representation of drama
and pop cultural phenomena.
(Don't worry, as creepy as this looks, the event is family-friendly!

We are even hosting trick or treating for the kids in conjunction with other Arts District
businesses! So instead of going to a haunted house come explore our "haunted" galleries.)
To celebrate the "darker half" of the year with Design Studio Art Gallery, we
encourage you to come dressed in costume. All staff will be in costume!
Appreciation of the art will be greatly enhanced by the creativity you put into your
costuming.

Hello to all, or rather, Bonjour!
As you will have guessed, we've not been able to make headway
on getting a new home of our own. But that won't stop us from
doing the kinds of events that only Chapters can do, such as
Monday, November 1, 7:00-8:30 p.m.

French poet Hedi Kaddour, with a bilingual reading from
TREASON.
Poet and novelist Hédi Kaddour is a Parisian as well as a Germanist and an Arabist.
He writes a walker's, a watcher's, and a listener's poems in sonnet-shaped vignettes.
Capturing Kaddour's full range of diction, as well as his speed, momentum, and tone,
Marilyn Hacker's translations brilliantly bring these poems alive. He was Poetry
Daily's Featured Poet on March 30, 2010, so you can sample his eloquence there.
After the reading, we'll have a conversation on translating poetry moderated by Steve
Moyer. Don't miss this opportunity to hear a world-class poet.
We'll be at Teaism Lafayette Park, 800 Connecticut Avenue NW, which will
be closed for dining, but refreshments will be served. (nearest Metro: Farragut West,
17th St. Exit.) Merci beaucoup to Teaism's Michelle and Linda for their hospitality
encore une fois!

"Writing the History of Conservatism"
Bradley Lecture by Patrick Allitt

At a time of significant change in American politics, AEI is going back to basics exploring the philosophical and historical
roots of American conservatism. One of the challenges of writing a long history of conservatism is how conservatism's
central concept frequently changes. Does conservatism imply deference to tradition and a preference for hierarchy over
egalitarianism? Or, is it defined by its support for a vigorous foreign policy and a free-market economy? Historians of
conservatism face the danger of adopting a definition and including or excluding figures or movements from the past
according to how well they conform to it. Is America's "conservative tradition" real, or is it a figment of historians'
imaginations? Does conservative-history writing raise methodological questions, comparable to the issues raised by
Marxist historiography? Patrick Allitt, Cahoon Family Professor of American History at Emory University, will discuss these
and other issues at the November Bradley Lecture.

VSA's "I'm A Fan: Juried Student Exhibit
Opening Reception
Tuesday, November 2, 5:30-7:30 p.m.
Mandarin Oriental Hotel
1331 Maryland Avenue SW
Free and open to the public
VSA, DC and the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group are collaborating on an exhibition that will bring their signature eleven-
blade fan logo alive. The artists at the ARTiculate Program are creating the series after being inspired by some of the
fantastic locations of the Mandarin Hotels around the world. This after-work event directly supports local Washington, DC
artists and youth.
“Fans Around the World”is an exhibition of original multi-media artwork done by the ARTists at VSA‟s ARTiculate
Program. The artwork is created on fans to celebrate the Mandarin Oriental‟s logo. The fans start as just another blank
canvas for the artists. The ARTists are then able to take their inspiration and utilize the fan‟s unique surface to enhance
the piece. The exhibition includes large-scale fans, and fan-mobiles that become active in the breeze of the garden patio.
There are approximately fifteen framed 20 inch fans that will be on display in the Mandarin‟s exhibition space.
The youth who participate in the ARTiculate Employment Training Program are young adults from the local area with
special needs. WVSA provides artistic, vocational, and job readiness training through the arts. The gallery openings are a
way for the artists to share their artwork with the public, while connecting with the greater community of Washington, D.C.
VSA, Washington, DC is a unique non-profit organization providing multiple creative environments, opportunities, and
experiences for children and adults through arts-infused educational and vocational programs.
Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group is an international hotel investment and management group with deluxe and first class
hotels, resorts and residences in sought-after destinations around the world.

"Italy: Beneath the Surface", Fresco Photography by Diane Epstein

(November 2-13)
Opening Reception
Thursday, November 4, 5:00-8:00 p.m.
Susan Calloway Fine Arts will be participating in FotoWeek
2010 with a special exhibition, "Italy: Beneath the Surface",
featuring fresco photography by Diane Epstein.
Diane Epstein, an American fine art photographer has made

Italy her home since 1995. She has a keen eye towards
bringing to life Ancient and Renaissance Rome, as well as
other old-world cities. Epstein captures an original view of
the monuments, statues, fountains and the hidden with a
textural, timeless quality. With her own innovative form of
photography, she revives the large-scale narrative painting and panoramic vistas of another time,
while still retaining the architectural details of today.
Epstein's signature "fresco" style of photography is created using a distinctive technique of layering
multiple images, including ancient sites and the richly encrusted walls of Rome to design a
painterly, textured picture, developing an illusion of shape and depth on a two dimensional surface.
She manages to portray visual ambiguities to allure the eye, with painted pillars, columns and
cupolas that cast depth into the viewer's space.
Rather than seven layers of paint applied to a plastered wall, Epstein's fresco series may use seven
or more layers of photographs taken in old world cities of today, dissolving into elaborate displays
of ethereal architecture and spectral visions of what lies beneath the surface.
Although over the last decade Epstein has exhibited widely in Europe this will be her debut in the
U.S. Some of Italian exhibitions include in Rome at the American Academy, the American
Embassy, the Residence of the Belgian Ambassador, John Cabot University and Al Vicario 31, and
in Umbria at the museum, Il Chiostro Boccarini Rome Luxury Suites has a permanent display of
her work at their newest hotel, Babuino 181, next to Piazza del Popolo, where Epstein's
Photography is featured in each of their suites and lobbies. Architect Fabrizio Magnaghi is using
over 25 of her photographs, including the large-scale fresco images in frames up to six feet tall. Her
sepia images of architectural details and fountains will be displayed at the hotels Mario dei Fiori, 37
and Margutta, 54 in Rome.
Susan Calloway Fine Arts specializes in contemporary art by local, regional, and international artists, antique American
and European oil paintings, and a carefully chosen selection of 17th-19th century prints. The gallery also specializes in
conservation framing using archival-quality materials and techniques, and in traditional French mat decoration.

speak for itself through motion, color, and painterly
brushstrokes.

THE SISTERS OF PERPETUAL INDULGENCE: IDENTITY WRIT LARGE

Photography by Matthew Black
OCTOBER 15 - NOVEMBER 13
FotoWeek DC Reception & Meet the Artist
Saturday, November 6, 7:00-9:00 p.m.
Sister VixXxen as Marcos | Marcos as Sister VixXxen, archival pigment prints, 2009
Since 2007, Matthew Black has documented the outrageous and provocative social activist
group, The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. Members of this international Sisterhood take on
the identities of 21st century nuns, dedicated to "promulgating universal joy, expiating
stigmatic guilt, and serving the community." Far more than street performers or typical drag
queens, they use the art of drag to raise awareness for the LGBT community, educate about
safe sex & AIDS, raise money for local non-profits, and advocate for human rights.
In Black's engrossing, public-private portraits of Sisters in the Seattle chapter he visibly

captures their transformation between various personas and brings to light the deeper,
universal question we each ask ourselves - Who am I really?

José Parlá, Layered Days, 2009. Mixed media, collage, oil, acrylic, plaster on wood panel. 4 x 6 ft. Detail.
Street/Studio 2.0 showcases the multiple practices of artists who work across a continuum of sites and
mediums that include street mural works, studio works in all mediums, gallery and museum exhibitions, digital
production tools, and documentation and distribution on the Web. The artists’ works--in any medium and
wherever they appear--form a dialog with the city and engage us with responses to the energy, conflicts, and
joys of urban life.
Our exhibition last year, Street/Studio, showed how artists working in this new continuity of practice understand
their works as always being site-specific, made for the spaces that frame them, regardless of the cultural
categories defining where art should appear.
Artists associated with this movement have not only broken down walls but have also removed the dichotomy
between the real and digital worlds. With proliferating photo-sharing sites, artists’ blogs, and aggregators like the
Wooster Collective, the Web has become a documentary virtual wall, a global city, a real-time art archive, a
community studio, and an instant messaging system for artists. Software tools for composing images to be
output in other media have become as integral to studio practice as the musician’s mixing board and multiple
digital sound sources.
Street/Studio 2.0 further advances a broader view of art today as artists now develop their work in a continuity of
practice spanning works in all forms and locations, digital media and software, and the Web. Street/Studio 2.0
presents leading artists who have been innovators in new categories of art, creatively recoding the recombinant
DNA of culture into new forms that respond to urban life.

About the Artists
David Ellis is one of the founders of the Barnstormers collective, and he works in many forms that extend his
background in music and painting. His paintings, murals, and motion-painting videos capture the rhythms and
visual energy of jazz, hip-hop, and graffiti, and his kinetic sculptures convert found materials and repurposed
acoustic instruments into programmable motion and sound installations. Street/Studio 2.0 will feature Ellis’s new
HD film, Animal, a 9.5 minute documentation of a six-week motion-painting performance. David Ellis lives works
in Brooklyn, NY. Further info.

Shepard Fairey is known internationally as a leader in street art and many forms of post-Pop composition,
graphic design, and printmaking. He gained wide recognition in the early 1990s with his Obey Giant campaign,
and in 2008 he created the iconic Obama “Hope” image that swept the globe. His hand-stenciled and collaged
version of the Obama Hope portrait is now in the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery, acquired from Irvine
Contemporary in 2008. His traveling Retrospective, Supply and Demand: The Art of Shepard Fairey ( 2009-
2010), originated at the Boston Institute of Contemporary Art. Further info.
José Parlá is internationally known for his multi-layered paintings that combine the direct hand-work of graffiti
and city walls with calligraphy, abstract expressionist gestures, and collaged fragments city life. His works are
urban memory documents, palimpsests of the layers of time, history, and experience in dense urban
environments. His paintings have appeared in major exhibitions in London, New York, Tokyo, and Paris. José
Parlá lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. Further info.

musicians and film makers. His recent film, Kill the Ego, a collaboration with Soundwalk, has been shown
internationally, including the Centre Pompidou Hors Piste cinema series (2010). Rostarr is a graduate of the

Chris Mendoza was born in Nicaragua and combines a love of the folk culture of his native country with the
chaos and complexity of modern cities. His drawings, paintings, and collage compositions form his own visual
index of the rhythms of the city and a catalog of the fragments of everyday experience. Mendoza has had recent
solo exhibitions in New York and Tokyo, and lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. Further info.

James Marshall (Dalek) has been been constantly developing his post-Pop painting style that abstracts graphic
lines and color from street art, cartoons and animation, and the kaleidoscopic visual density of the city. He was a
studio assistant for Takashi Murakami’s in 2001. Marshall has been in many exhibitions in New York, Paris,
London, Los Angeles and with Irvine Contemporary in Washington, DC. He is a graduate of the School of the Art
Institute of Chicago, and, now lives and works in Raleigh, NC.
Gaia has quickly become recognized for his placement of prints and paintings on the streets in major cities.
Drawing his imagery from archetypal animals, personal portraits, and art history, Gaia constructs linocut images
and drawings that intervene in urban spaces for reflections on the human condition in nature and history. His
studio projects combine collage, linocut prints, and painting, and have been exhibited in Brooklyn, New York,
Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Washington, DC. Gaia lives and works in Baltimore, MD, and Brooklyn, NY,
and is a student at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore.

Embassy of Argentina and Kaller Fine Arts Premiere Diego Ortiz Mugica's
Photographs of Argentina's National Parks
As Part of Argentina's Bicentennial Celebration - New Exhibition Features 20 Photographs

from 12-year Project Covering 12 National Parks
Opening Reception
The Embassy of Argentina
1660 New Hampshire Avenue NW
Washington, DC, 20009
(corner of Q Street & New Hampshire Avenue)
This is an exhibition premiering 20 photographs of Argentina's national parks by Diego Ortiz Mugica featured
in the new book Parques Nacionales Argentinos (The National Parks of Argentina). The exhibition, part of the
celebration of Argentina's bicentennial, will be open to the public November 10-11, 1:00-5:00 p.m., and
November 12, 1:00-3:00 p.m. Kaller Fine Arts will have a large selection of Mugica's works available including
images from The National Parks, Fly Fishing Moments, The Geography of the Body and other series.
In the book's prologue, Argentine President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner celebrates "the extraordinary value
and enormous richness of our land, our nature reserves, and our diversity." The artist's goal in the national
parks project, on which he spent twelve years and traversed one third of Argentina's 36 parks, was to create
"perfectly clear images where you can feel the stones, the sand, the trees and perceive the wind and the cold
... to show the natural beauty" of the parks. Among his favorite sites, the Iguazu Falls, Glaciares, and
Patagonia North.
About the Artist

Diego Ortiz Mugica, born and raised in Buenos Aires, uses photography, he says, to "share beauty with
people" and his work is a way to "shout to ask people to stop and contemplate beauty." Looking and
contemplation have always been important, especially as a child when a congenital heart defect kept him
largely inactive for the first six years of his life. Following an operation that repaired his heart, and extensive
recuperation, he developed a passion for camping.
Mugica, an active photographer for more than three decades, studied for three years with Pedro uis Raota at
the Escuela Superior de Arte Fotográfico (beginning in 1980), and also participated in workshops with Ulf
Sjöstedt, then director of Victor Hasselblad Company magazine. Subsequently he studied large format
photography with Esteban Marco, thanks to a Foundation Antorchas scholarship. In 1999 and 2001, he
participated in two separate workshops with John Sexton (who worked with Ansel Adams for the last eight
years of Adams' life). Mugica employs the zone system developed by Ansel Adams and Fred Archer in the
late 1930s and speaks of his artistic inspirations as a trinity, with "Ansel Adams, John Sexton and Edward
Weston as the Father, Son and Holy Spirit", respectively. He also cites as inspiration Richard Avedon for
portraiture and Robert Mapplethorpe for the "effective" way he "took pictures of bodies and flowers."
His work is in numerous public collections, among them Argentina's Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes (National
Museum of Fine Arts), Banco Santa Cruz (Santa Cruz Bank), and Fundación ARCADE (ARCADE
Foundation). Private collections include Argentine President Mrs. Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, Juan
Cambaso, president of the art fair ARTE BA, Infanta Cristina, Duchess of Palma de Mallorca, Michael
Cowdray (UK), Carole Bouquet (FR), and many others.
Mugica divides his time between a house in Buenos Aires and a home Patagonia. He spends four to five
months of the year at the Patagonia house, which he has owned for 15 years, and describes the environment
there as "another way of living ... looking at the Limay River is like getting a massage." He would spend more
time there, but in a nod to life's practicalities, he noted: "God is everywhere, but he does business in Buenos
Aires."
The exhibition is being held in conjunction with FotoWeek DC, November 6-13, 2010.

Dear Ashley,
Thank you for your wonderful support that has helped SOME to
provide more than 1,000 meals to the hungry each day,
contributed to the daily treatment of nearly 50 homeless patients
in our Medical and Dental Clinics, and supported the operation of
long-term services like job training and affordable housing.
Last year, we asked you to take part in the Thanksgiving Day

Trot for Hunger to help the growing number of homeless people
in our community. Your enthusiastic response enabled us to
accommodate record demand and kept people from going hungry.
I hope that you will continue to help SOME feed and care for the still growing number of
homeless individuals and families by signing up for SOME‟s 40th Anniversary Thanksgiving Day
Trot for Hunger, and by encouraging others to join or sponsor you.
The Trot for Hunger 5K timed race and family fun walk will be held at 8:30 am on November 25
in West Potomac Park, and will be preceded by the Little Turkey One Mile Fun Run at 8:00 am
(no separate registration is required for the Little Turkey; all Trot for Hunger registrants are
eligible to participate.) Registration is $23 through November 15 and is available online now.
We hope that you will start your Thanksgiving with SOME and thousands of energetic runners
and walkers, trotting to help the homeless and hungry. Please contact Tracy Monson at (202)
797-8806, ext. 1093 or at trotforhunger@some.org for additional information.
Sincerely,
Fr. John Adams

BE A FRINGE FOLLY VOLUNTEER
ATTEND THE FRINGE FOLLY OCT 29
DONATE TO THE FRINGE FOLLY

October's Fringe Artist is Ben Egerman hailing from Minneapolis,
Minnesota. Ben created The Great Ben Egerman Theatre
Adventure! in the fall of 2009 in order to present his touring
production of its namesake's one-man show, Do Not Kill Me, Killer
Robots. It is driven by his desire to tour a show in a wide variety of
locations, with a low-budget, do-it-yourself aesthetic. The show's set
and props, including a large number of electronic props and sound
equipment, are all built by Ben from scratch, designed to occupy no
more space than a desk, all are able to run off a single electrical
outlet, and easily fit into the trunk of a Honda Civic.
Ben will be back at the Fort for fallFRINGE November 17-21. If you
missed his show during this years Fringe Festival or just want to see it
again... don't miss what the Washington Post called "...solidly funny".
Q As a self-producing artist, what qualities make for a good

show idea in your opinion, and what is typically your first step in realizing your artistic vision?
A ... Sometimes, I'll try damn hard, but realize that things like "The Secret Life of Pirate Jesus" made a
really funny sketch, but a really awful full-length play, and fail to make it past the second scene. P.S. yes,
that's a real example. His ship was called the Holy Cutlass.

Opportunit ies
National Urban Fellows' leadership development program is a rigorous, 14-month, full-time graduate degree
program comprising two semesters of academic course work and a nine-month mentorship assignment. Fellows
receive a $25,000 stipend, health insurance, a book allowance, relocation and travel reimbursement, and full
payment of tuition, in addition to their ongoing personal and professional development.
The program culminates in a Master of Public Administration (MPA) degree from the City of New York's Bernard
M. Baruch College, School of Public Affairs. During the mentorship, Fellows complete course work via distance
learning. An MPA degree is awarded to Fellows upon completion of all academic and program requirements.
Following graduation, Fellows become part of a prestigious group of well over 1,000 multicultural, multiracial
alumni who are graduates of the National Urban Fellows program and who are effecting positive changes in
communities nationally and internationally. Individually and collectively, they are helping to create an equitable
and just society while serving as role models for future generations.
Fellows apply their expertise in the public sector, contributing their newly acquired leadership skills to public
service for the betterment of their communities and the nation. They return to their former or new occupations
more experienced in public policy decision-making and are better prepared to make a strong commitment to
equity and social justice, thereby fulfilling the mission of the program. Finally, Fellows give back to the
organization that supported them, recognizing that their ongoing commitment, engagement and involvement
and/or annual giving will help to secure the future of National Urban Fellows.

To all our partners in the DC region -

Thanks again for your support of StreetWise Partners' programs over the last 12 months. We are excited about further
developing and improving our Career Ventures program, as well as our Alumni workshops over the next year, to better help
motivated low-income individuals. Currently 77% of participants have a job, a promotion or pay-rise, or are enrolled in a
career advancing education program within 6 months of starting our Career Ventures program. We want to get this up to
100%!
I hope you will continue to support our efforts as a volunteer, and we have a new Mock Interview Day on July 13th (downtown
Washington, D.C., 6:30pm - 9:00pm) that we're offering to individuals who are applying to participate in our Fall
program. Volunteers will conduct three mock interviews in different interviewer „roles‟ - CEO, Line Manager,
HR Manager – to give the experience of different types of interviews. Volunteers then give feedback about their
performance and their resume. You can RSVP to volunteer at this event by responding to this email!
If you're interested in helping us with our current challenge campaign to raise $100,000 by the end of June (last day of the
campaign today!), then you can text the word ‘partners’ to 20222 now to donate $10 to support our incredible programs. An
easy way to make a difference, without even leaving your desk! (more details below).
Thank you so much for your ongoing support.

First, THANK YOU so much for your help in making this year‟s BBQ Battle such a success! We could not have done it
without you. Know that you made a difference, and we very appreciative of those who choose to serve with us or on our
behalf.
You are receiving this email because you marked on your Volunteer Form (when you signed up for BBQ Battle) that you
were interested in other volunteer opportunities with Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Washington. PLEASE read on about
the process to becoming a regular volunteer with us as well as some general volunteer roles that may interest you.
ABOUT THE PROCESS:
In order to regularly volunteer at a Club, the applicant must complete, sign, and return the application packet. This will
include a registration form (attached), a background investigation consent form (attached), a fingerprint card, AND a copy
of their photo ID. Fingerprint cards can be mailed to the applicant or picked up from a Club location. Attached you will find
a listing of fingerprinting agencies with which you can make an appointment to complete the card.
**Please note that applicants under the age of 18 are not required to undergo a fingerprint check, though they
MUST complete the background investigation consent and permission form for minors and have each form
signed by legal parent/guardian. Be sure to include ALL required information including social security number
and signature(s)**
ABOUT YOUR ROLE:
Volunteer roles vary as specific Club needs change. Applicant's interests and skills may also determine a potential
volunteer role. General opportunities could easily include tutors, mentors, program aides, administrative aides,
maintenance, beautification/repair, events/fundraising, or even pro bono services based on your skills. BGCGW also
offers summer programming at most locations. Summer schedules often times include field trips, educational enrichment
workshops, sports/fitness activities, arts & crafts, and more!
I can help narrow it down by your specific interests or region (MD, DC, VA). Speaking with staff at a specific Club is
another great way to help select a location. We have 8 Clubs in VA, 8 in DC, and 2 in MD. I have attached a listing of our
Clubs for your review. This directory includes Club addresses, phone numbers, and contacts.
Please don't hesitate to let me know how/if I can be of further assistance OR if you have any colleagues/classmates that
may be interested as well. Thanks again for your recent contribution; we hope to see you again soon!!!

Americans for Tax Reform is accepting

applications for fall internships.
Applications are due July 16, 2010.
We believe in a system in which taxes are simpler, fairer, flatter, more visible, and lower than they are today. The
government's power to control one’s life derives from its power to tax. We believe that power should be
minimized. ATR was founded in 1985 by Grover Norquist at the request of President Reagan.
Internship Description: Americans for Tax Reform offers the chance to work alongside some of the best political
advocates in Washington, as well as the opportunity for increasing responsibility. Interns are assigned to work on
policy issues side by side with members of our staff. As a key part of the ATR team, interns work on projects such
as the
Taxpayer Protection Pledge(both federal and state candidates pledge not to raise taxes), the American
Shareholders Association(focusing on eliminating the Death Tax, expanding Lifetime Savings Accounts and
Retirement Savings Accounts, and social security reform), and the Cost of Government Day, a report identifying
and calculating government spending as a cost to taxpayers.
Qualifications: Duties include, but are not limited to, legislative and political research, drafting policy briefs,
writing press releases, blogging, attending meetings, and assisting with events. Applicants must be organized,
responsible, independent, and effective under deadlines. Exceptional written and oral communication skills are a
must. Interns are required to have a professional demeanor and phone manner. Applicants should have a strong
interest in tax reform and economic policy, and a fundamental orientation toward liberty. ATR accepts applications
from undergraduate and graduate students of all majors. Full-time and part-time interns are paid hourly. The
positions can be taken for credit through the applicant's home university or college, coinciding with spring,
summer, and fall semester dates.
Office Location: Our offices are ideally located at 722 12th Street, NW, in the heart of Washington D.C. ATR is
Metro accessible-located across the street from Metro Center.
Application: Please send a resume, a short writing sample on a topic relating to ATR's mission (no more
than five pages), a cover letter with your interest in ATR outlined, and a list of three references
to:cboyer@atr.org. Please use ‘Internship Application’ as the subject line of your email.

savings, direct depositing their refund, and the like. No experience necessary, we train you.
We are also looking for tax preparation volunteers able to work at East of the River tax sites, during daytime hours, or who
speak Spanish, Chinese, or Amharic. It’s a good, low-commitment volunteer opportunity because it’s only 3 months. See the
email below and please pass on to your networks!
Thanks,
Emily Appel
Savings Program Director

You Can Change Lives,

One Return at a Time
This tax season you can be a part of a tremendous effort that brings over $9 million
into the homes of DC’s low-income working families each year.
Volunteer as a Savings Promoter or Tax Preparer with the

DC Earned Income Tax Credit Campaign
(www.dceitc.org)!
Our Success Depends On Volunteers Like You!

Make a Difference
Each tax return completed by a volunteer preparer can raise a low-income working family’s income by
more than $6,000.
This income boost can help a working family get out of debt, afford winter coats, pay utility bills, and save for
future goals and needs.
Savings Promoter volunteers* will also be on site helping families use their refunds to move up the
economic ladder!
*The Campaign's greatest need is for additional Savings Promoter volunteers.
No Professional Experience Needed

If you know how to complete a tax return, or have done your own taxes, you can volunteer as a tax preparer. All
preparers receive 12 hours of free training (on Saturdays and/or weekdays evenings) and IRS certification in
January.
Or, if you would rather volunteer as a Savings Promoter, you will receive 4 hours of interactive training to enable
you to help clients save their refunds, enroll in Money Management classes and credit counseling, and even open
direct deposit accounts!
Opportunities for Everyone

In addition to tax preparers, we need volunteer interpreters and Savings Promoter
volunteers to educate clients about savings products and free financial resources.
Volunteers at some sites will even help eligible clients register for Food Stamps.
Flexible Hours & Locations

Volunteer for 3-4 hours a week from January 30 through mid April at one of 12 sites throughout the DC area. Most
sites are open on evenings and/or weekends.
