Invitation: Warhol Through the Eyes of Perry Kids

This exhibit, sponsored by The Fridge DC and Albus Cavus, showcases art pieces created by Perry Center students under guidance of Ms. Alicia Cosnahan. The students studied and celebrated works of AndyWarhol including paintings, sculptures and film. Enjoy meeting the young artists, talking to them about their love for Andy Warhol and art in general and help us raise funds for new art supplies so we can make more art. Thank you all supporters and friends who are making this show happen.
