Investigating Identity – A Student Exhibit

Investigating Identity – A Student Exhibit What happens when young artists turn the mirror inward? Investigating Identity invites you into a deeply personal and powerful exhibition of work from emerging artists at George Mason University and Northern Virginia Community College. These student creators push beyond the traditional self-portrait—grappling with questions of who they are, how they see themselves, and how their identities are shaped by culture, community, and experience. From painting and mixed media to sculpture and photography, the exhibition reflects the complexity of identity in today’s world—touching on themes of race, gender, belief, and belonging, while also exploring personal journeys of artistic growth and transformation. On View: Now until May 3, 2025 Opening Reception: Saturday, April 12 from 6–8 PM Meet the artists, mingle with faculty and peers, enjoy light refreshments, and celebrate the award-winning pieces selected by juror Mary Higgins—a DC-based curator, artist, and founder of Distinct Studios. 🎟 Free and open to the public 🏆 Juror awards announced during the reception 📍 Workhouse Arts Center – 9518 Workhouse Way, Lorton, VA Learn More: https://www.workhousearts.org/calendar/investigating-identity-exhibition
