Visit Grandma's House

Grandma's House, Petworth's new art and culture hub, is debuting its first exhibit: "At Home."

Context: Grandma's House was founded this year by D.C. multimedia artist and designer Reggie Black as a gathering place for artists and creatives.

• Zoom in: Inspired by his late grandmother, Molangee Guinyard, Grandma's House is described by Black as "an institution of Black wealth and home ownership that perseveres amongst the ever-growing gentrification in Washington, D.C."

What's happening: "At Home" features eight local artists exploring the family unit, what shapes a family and the emotions that come with it.

• View artists' profiles here.

When: 10am–7pm Saturday and 10am–5pm Sunday

Where: Petworth

• The exact location will be sent to guests after they RSVP.
• Of note: The space is Black's childhood home, which his grandmother purchased in 1973.

Cost: $12
