Charles Meissner, Fort Reno
Find time on Saturday between the hours of 4 and 6:30 p.m. to wish Art Enables a happy birthday. If you haven't visited recently, they're not at the MAC any long (no one is, in fact). But they're sitting pretty in new digs at Florida and New York Ave NE. Don't let the "NE" scare you, you petticoated pansy: It's just a couple hops from the NewYoFlo stop on the Red Line and easily accessible by bus. (It's the trip to Hornfleur that's going to kill you.)
The AE gang has invited a visiting artist to celebrate Art Enables's fifth: Abe Graber, who is celebrating his (holy crow!) 103rd birthday.
Art Enables is "is an arts-and-enterprise program for adults with developmental and/or mental disabilities," which is great, of course. You want to support them for the warm fuzzies you'll feel—but also because Art Enables promotes distinctive and sharp work. (You won't find a bigger fan of Charles Meissner's work than me.) In addition to paintings in many media, they offer some sculpture and zany craft objects. (If you've been to my house, you've seen the coasters.)
Come meet the artists and celebrate a ton of birthday years.
