Now Showing: “Give and Go-Go” Eric Louis January x Bradley Ward

Don’t miss Chela Mitchell Gallery’s “Give and Go-Go,” an exhibition featuring artists Eric Louis January and Bradley Ward that explores basketball’s deep historical significance in DC. Through painting, collage, and mixed media, the show honors the city’s impact on the sport and its role in shaping Black identity, resilience, and collective memory. Inspired by basketball strategy and DC’s legendary Go-Go music, the title reflects the city’s rhythm, movement, and lasting influence. The works celebrate basketball as more than a game—it’s a cultural cornerstone, a vehicle for mobility, and a unifying force across generations.
