Art: A Catalyst for Change
Many of ACA exhibitions and events serve as a unique way to reach larger audiences with contemporary art as well as an opportunity to raise awareness of the human condition. Many of the exhibitions at alternative venues will serve as fundraisers for local, national and international not-for-profit organizations that provide services for unserved and under-served populations. Art as a way to focus and address social problems is a wonderful way to not only support emerging artists but also contribute to worthy organizations to further the important work that they are doing for society.

The year is 1926 and the Harlem Renaissance is in full swing. On this bright a young band of Negro artists and musicians celebrate their last night in Paris in this salon style party that will feature live music, performances, food, drink, and a silent auction of original artwork.
James Terrell
Visual artists were a major component of the Harlem Renaissance era and so WHCTP is pleased to feature
James Terrell as this year’s visual artist. This year, James has agreed to create 12 original pieces for the event that will be previewed at the pre-events and then auctioned off on March 20th. A portion of all of the proceeds will go towards the benefit the Anne Bujon Educational Initiative for DC Public Schools.
