The Pentagon City mall has something new on display — and it isn’t clothing.
More than 50 pieces of art, from paintings to drawings and sculptures to mixed media, from 35 members of the Arlington Artists Alliance, are encased behind glass inside the Fashion Centre at Pentagon City.
“We are excited and grateful for this opportunity to showcase our member artists,” said Christina Papanicolaou, the alliance’s executive director, in a press release. “This exposure will introduce local artists to new patrons while providing community members the opportunity to experience professional art as they shop and dine.”
Shoppers can peruse the display on the lower level near the Nordstrom entrance until April 30 and even take a piece home. The art is for sale, starting at $100 for ceramics and $200 for paintings and drawings.
The nonprofit alliance supports and promotes local artists by displaying art by members inside businesses, churches, county offices and other public places. People can also peruse their work at the nonprofit’s full-time gallery, Gallery Underground, in the Crystal City Shops.
