The New Project Studio will host an exhibition of the 2021 AIA Virginia Prize competition. The competition — which took place over the weekend of Jan. 22–25, 2021 — was inspired by the Equal Justice Initiative’s Community Remembrance Project and challenged students to design a pillar installation for the City of Alexandria’s Market Square.
ALX Pride was developed in 2018 as a community-focused event to celebrate LGBTQ+-identifying creatives in the Alexandria area and beyond. The Art Center is pleased to bring back this event and provide arts projects along the Waterfront and the Union Street entrances as well as a virtual broadcast. Please note the Art Center will not be open during these after hours events.
