Amanda Spaid: Locals - Public Reception

* This exhibition runs Mar. 12–May 2, with a public reception on Sat., Mar. 14. *

Amanda Spaid was inspired during the pandemic to focus on hyper-local subjects, creating detailed drawings of birds in the D.C. area. She hopes that slowing down and examining what’s happening to the planet, not just on a global level, but literally in our backyards, will inspire people to make decisions that benefit all locals — humans and birds alike.
