Adrienne Mills at the Anacostia Boutique and Gallery

Adrienne Mills' work
ImageBefore it utterly slips from my putative memory and into effective oblivion, I want to mention the Anacostia Boutique and Gallery. My good friend Adrienne Mills, who paints bodies and photographs them, is part of a show of sensuous art there. It is a fascinating place in a part of the city many of us rarely visit, an old decorated Victorian kitty-corner cross the street from the Sithsonian Anacostia Art Museum.

The place is stuffed with art and objects mostly imported from Africa and supplemented with the artwork of local African American artists.My head kept swiveling around as Mr. Weiss or I would notice something new and interesting, from the dolls to the ceramics to the big old throne to the tiny little totem people. The people are very friendly and couldn’t be more happy to tell you all about their inventory, so it’s really worth a visit.
