A narrative ‘re-collection’ of the Washington Project for the Art’s legacy, Catalyst will showcase selected artists, exhibitions, programs, and events from the WPA’s 35-year history as the region’s premiere alternative arts organization. Divided chronologically into three major sections of the museum, the exhibition will feature works by over 150 artists in a variety of media illustrating the integral role the WPA has played in the history of contemporary visual art in Washington, D.C.
