The DC exhibition offers a community art event, a video installation and the artists’ visit!
WASHINGTON – May 6, 2024 – PRLog — The 14 members of the International Online Art Collective are presenting “Chain Reaction,” a 100-piece art installation at Sitar Arts Center in their Cafritz Gallery. The community art event led by artists Caroline Karp and Ruth Christensen will be open to the public on May 24 at 5 p.m. The Chain Reaction opening will follow at 7 p.m. and will be on display through June 22. The public is invited to meet the artists who will be in town for the show’s opening weekend.
“Chain Reaction” is the collective’s most ambitious project so far—think of it as a very long-distance game of “telephone”. Starting with one piece, each piece inspired the other, provoking a literal chain of artworks, culminating in 100 pieces assembled into one bigger physical multi-media installation. IOAC will present Chain Reaction to art galleries worldwide. NY was the first stop in October 2023. Sitar Arts Center is the second venue to show the project.”Art transcends boundaries, and our upcoming show in DC embodies the vibrant tapestry of global creativity,”

We’re honored to welcome these talented artists to the Sitar community and proud to offer the Washington, DC area the opportunity to experience this dynamic exhibition and engage with the arts in a truly unique and meaningful way.”
