As promised, here are a few shots that I took while visiting the Manifest Hope: DC Gallery on Monday. The exhibit showcased photographs, sculptures, paintings and other original pieces created by incredibly talented visual artists across the United States who used their craft to motivate the grassroots movement that ultimately carried President Obama to victory.
Although the exhibit was only open to the public for two days and is now officially closed, I just wanted to share some of these breathtakingly brilliant artistic creations.
Which one is your favorite? **Unfortunately, I didn’t think to get the artists’ names or the names of the creations.
Very nice pictures. I’m very impressed with the one done with the Etch n’ Sketch! AMAZING!
@Sherita – Yes, the Etch n’ Sketch one is my favorite!! UNBELIEVABLE!
I always admired people that could make masterpieces with an etch a sketch… I was never good at that thing. That’s probably my fav but that cake is looking rather good right now too!
Another one for the etch n’ sketch! How amazing! So lucky you got to see it all in person BGG.
Great post!
Wow these are all amazing…. I love the use of color
As a wife to a strong Black man who is dedicated to serving our community, I must say I love the the “Victory” piece that has President Obama pictured with his wife and our first lady. To me that picture symbolizes that his wife was an essential element in his success.
I love the Etch a Sketch drawing. That artist has skills!
I like the Time cover and the Victory image. They are all such wonderful pieces of work.
I love them all but my fav is the Victory shot of the First Couple. I just know he wouldn’t be president if it were not for Michelle! Seriously, this is the first time we really see the President as a family man and I attribute that to both of them. They are a force to be reckoned with! Every time I think of them and their girls, I get choked up! They speak to the power of the black family BEFORE the destruction caused by slavery! Gobamas!
wow yes the etch n sketch…how did they transport it without erasing it! you’ll definitely have to share this memory with your kids and grandkids 🙂
I’m going to have to go with the oversized etch and sketch.
Its like Obamamania!. I hope to see that exhibit. Is it specifically open for the Inauguration or is it there for a longer time.
My friend was lucky enough to be there and she said it was an amazing experience.
I love all the images but like you I find the sketck unbelievable.
Great pictures! I like the black charcoal sketch of Obama displayed on the stand. Soul Natural
nice pic’s. great post
I love love loved the cake! You know I like to eat.lol
These are amazing! Thanks for sharing. Now I feel like I was there.
They’re all beautiful… the etch a sketch, AMAZING!
