Connie Glinsmann has alerted us to an unusual art exhibit at the Fogue Gallery in Georgetown (5519 Airport Way S). The exhibit opens with the artist Cami Smith speaking on Thursday, April 16 at 2:30 pm and runs through April 27. Go to this link to see photos and read about the intriguing concept of viewing art and your life through memorabilia shared by those who know you: https://www.cami-smith.art/installation The 70 year-old-artist solicited memories of her from friends and relations. The result: When the light comes through, you can see all the layers. Just like memory.
