Living The Prescription: Artist Talk and Tour @ George Mason University

We’re dedicated to creating a home for small businesses, artists, arts and cultural organizations to fulfill our commitment to the revitalization and sustainable economic development of Historic Anacostia.

Anacostia Arts Center

Celebrating Lisa Brown, Melani Douglass, and Former Anacostia Arts Center Creative Director- Terence Nicholson

3351 Fairfax Dr

Living the Prescription brings together the photographic work of Lisa Brown and the multidisciplinary visual practice of Terence Nicholson to explore how home becomes a site of care, memory, and cultural continuity when lived day to day. In conversation with Melani N. Douglass’s The Prescription is HOME: A Manifesto, this parallel exhibition shifts from declaration to presence—revealing how the manifesto’s call is embodied in the everyday acts that shape our lives and relationships. Join us for an artist talk, tour, and whiskey tasting at Founders Gallery.

About The Artists

Terence Nicholson is a visual, performing, and martial artist who integrates these disciplines throughout his work. Unbound from any one medium in his art making, he is particularly sensitive to the quality of rawness in his materials. He is a follower of Taoist thought, which values a state of “emptiness” as key in a true creative process. Listening, being the primary tool developed from this state, he is able to use it as he explores his materials along with conceptual themes of social justice, especially as they relate to gentrification, class, trauma, and spirituality.Terence is a born Washingtonian and a longtime native of Anacostia. A graduate of the Corcoran School of Art, he was a recipient of the Rosenbaum Memorial Scholarship Award.

Lisa Brown, was raised between Washington, D.C.  and Compton. Her journey as an artist began early, driven by a deep passion for analog photography and darkroom printing. Drawing inspiration from her grandfather's captivating street photography, Lisa's artistic trajectory has been guided by a commitment to capturing the essence of life through her lens. Current graduate, MFA in Community Arts at Maryland Institute College of Art, Lisa's academic path reflects her dedication to integrating art with community engagement. She was recently awarded the Sidney Lake ilead award from President Cecilia McCormick.Lisa's work has garnered recognition from esteemed institutions and publications, including the Pittsburgh Art Society, Black Is Magazine, and Dayton Art Institute.
