You Can Admire It in a Museum. You Can Own It Through a Gallery.

One of the artists featured in Hyperallergic’s list of 10 Art Shows to See in DC This Summer is designer and cultural storyteller Jomo Tariku. His iconic Nyala Chair is currently included in Reset: Abstraction Embodied in Design at the National Museum of African American History and Culture, where visitors can experience how contemporary Black designers are reshaping the relationship between object, identity, and space.

This summer, Washington-area collectors have a unique opportunity.

As part of WOOD & STONE at Studio Russo Gallery, visitors can encounter and acquire works by Jomo Tariku—furniture that has appeared in museum collections, major publications, film productions, and even the residence of former Vice President Kamala Harris.

Unlike a museum, a gallery offers the possibility of bringing these extraordinary works into your own home. Each piece is a conversation between heritage and contemporary design, transforming furniture into cultural narrative.

Today, I pause to honor the life and legacy of artist, educator, gallerist, mentor, and friend Tim Davis.

Tim’s impact extended far beyond the artworks he created. He built community, encouraged artists, opened doors for others, and reminded us that creativity is ultimately about connection. His generosity of spirit and commitment to the arts left a lasting imprint on so many lives.

For those in the Washington, DC community who knew Tim—or whose lives were touched by his work—pls gather in remembrance to Tim in honoring his life and artistic journey.

Looking forward to an evening where art and cinema meet in conversation.

This Thursday, Studio Russo Gallery and the Washington Film Institute present Art & Cinema featuring a screening of The Great Beauty.

Before the film, join us at Studio Russo Gallery to experience Disintegration Regeneration, Anastasia Travieso-Diaz’s exploration of memory, loss, transformation, and the fragments that remain after life shifts beneath us.

Both the exhibition and The Great Beauty ask a similar question:

What remains when the structures that once defined us begin to fall away?

Through paint and cinema, the evening invites reflection on beauty, identity, longing, and the possibility of renewal.

See you tonight.

What begins as something deeply personal can transform into something we all recognize.

At Artvocate, we hold space for that shift—
where private conviction becomes collective reflection.

Scientific research showed that viewing art stimulates the "feel-good" neurotransmitter releasing dopamine into the same areas that register romantic love and pleasure !
