First Friday at Art Works

Step into the heart of the festival at Art Works for an evening of art, music, and shared remembrance.

Experience two stunning communal altars and installations curated by local floral artist Christopher Flowers, and DMV textile artist Felicia Reed, inviting reflection on ancestry, culture, and the stories we carry forward. Exhibit attendees will have the opportunity to leave notes of remembrance that add to the exhibit.

This gathering is both celebration and ceremony — a space to connect, honor, and imagine together. Bring a flower, a photo, or a small offering for the altar if you feel called. Your presence is the most meaningful gift.
