In Living Color: A Celebration of Art, Storytelling, and Resilience at Honfleur Gallery
On Saturday, August 16, 2025, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, Honfleur Gallery—together with Valley Place Arts Collaborative—invites you to step into a world where bold color meets powerful storytelling.
Curated by award-winning artist Luis Del Valle, In Living Color draws inspiration from the groundbreaking 1990s TV show of the same name. The exhibition explores how color can be more than a visual element—it can be a language of identity, heritage, and strength.
Opening Night Experience
The evening kicks off with a VIP reception (limited to 100 RSVPs) featuring live performances by poet John Johnsonand America’s Got Talent finalist Malik Dope. Their artistry will set the tone for a night of creativity, connection, and cultural celebration.
As you move through the gallery, you’ll encounter work by an extraordinary lineup of artists: ABSURDLY WELL, Brian Bailey, Hiba Alyawer, Jay Durah, The Blaq Picasso, QRCKY, Yetunde Sapp, and of course, Luis Del Vallehimself. Each piece tells a story—some personal, some political, all deeply human.
Admission & Walk-In Details
This free event is open to all. While the VIP reception RSVP is capped at 100 spots, don’t let the “Sold Out” notice on Eventbrite stop you—walk-ins are welcome as space allows. We want as many people as possible to share in this celebration of art and community.
Why You Shouldn’t Miss It
Whether you’re an art collector, a fan of live performance, or simply curious about what’s happening in DC’s vibrant creative scene, In Living Color offers a chance to see some of the region’s most exciting talent in one space.
