A conversation with Annabel Daou

Join artist Annabel Daou and Arlington Arts Center's curator of exhibitions Blair Murphy for a conversation in conjunction with Global Spotlight: Annabel Daou, on view at AAC through March 26. The works in the exhibition – A Year Like Any Other (2020), and chou hayda / if you only knew (2017-2018) – offer meditations on the human relationship to time and its passage, particularly in periods of crisis. In this conversation, the artist will discuss these pieces and her practice more broadly, giving the audience a wider perspective on her work.

We are so excited that we are finally moving back into TJ's theatre for our first indoor production in... well... a while.

TAP and LTA's production of A Night of One Acts is quickly approaching! We are so excited about premiering these brand new plays! But, did you know you could see the show for free?! Wondering how? It's easy, volunteer with TAP!

Choose the opportunity that's right for you:

Work the box office: Each performance requires two people to work the box office and we are looking to train some newcomers. The good news? Because there's always two people, you're never alone! If you have not helped with our box office before or would like a refresher, please let me know and I will help get you trained.

Usher: This may just be our easiest volunteer opportunity (shhh, don't tell!). You'll work before the show starts to help patrons check their tickets and find their seats.

Interested? For more information or questions about either of these volunteer opportunities, please contact Brittany at [email protected]
