Lavinia Wohfarth (Vinnie to her legion of friends) is a fifth-generation Washingtonian who has operated a pioneering fine art gallery in Brookland for 20 years. Brookland is home to some venerable institutions like Catholic University and Dance Place, but Vinnie's eponymous gallery is the only commercial outpost of the visual fine arts. ImageVinnie clearly  deserves a party for providing a venue for artists for 20 years, not to mention for being a member of the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities and our local delegate to the Mid-Atlantic Arts Foundation and, to top it off, operating a fab summer gallery in Provincetown Massachusetts. So she threw herself a 20th-anniversary shindig and invited all her artists, friends and neighbors.

good old tar
ImageThe gallery is made up of two row homes that have been connected and are spanned across the back by a deck that gives onto some nice urban greenery. There is lots of art hung throughout the two floors of the houses, ranging from a few of my own tar pieces to a Cape Cod school landscape or two, a terrific Stevens Carter piece, some Cheryl Edwards’ tiny paintings, Lisa Williams’ Farrell’s lush large charcoal drawings.
