The District of Columbia Art Association (DCAA) is a group of artists in metropolitan Washington, D.C. dedicated to ensuring that art continues to be a creative, living force in their communities. Originally known as the D.C. Art Education Association, DCAA’s membership and the scope of its involvement in the community have grown continuously since its founding by art educators in 1961. Programs and projects sponsored by DCAA provide scholarships to aspiring art students, financial grants to the Anacostia Neighborhood Museum, awards of recognition to fine arts students at Howard University, and stipends for individual study of art.
The Anacostia Neighborhood Museum shares the Association’s goal of fostering an appreciation of the fine arts through community involvement and is pleased to host the First Annual DCAA Art Exhibition at the Museum. The artwork displays a full complement of skills, approaches, and experiences which are embodied in DCAA’s membership, and it expresses the organization’s collective desire to promote the visual arts; to embrace and foster personal and professional growth, and to share with the viewers of this exhibit the fulfillment that can be achieved through creative expression..
