The Capitol Hill Art League (CHAL) invites local artists of all mediums and levels to join our membership at: www.caphillartleague.org. Our season runs Jan 1st – Dec 31.

CHAL is a visual arts program of the Capitol Hill Arts Workshop.

Soft Skills is the culminating exhibition of CHAW darkroom resident Obiekwe “Obi” Okolo. The show, open in CHAW’s gallery from October 8th to the 25th, is an exploration of the process of seeing, noticing, and making. Okolo is a Nigerian American photographer, multimedia artist, creative director, and reluctant writer. Raised in Lagos, Nigeria, and San Antonio, Texas, his work, from an early career in architecture to his recent explorations in the written word and portraiture, are often an attempt at reconciling a relationship between things—mirroring the lifelong reconciliation at play within his own identity as a child of two worlds. Soft Skills presents two bodies of work currently in progress both concerned with seeing and being seen in the world, in dialogue with the darkroom craft—one that is about deep noticing and time. Join us for the opening reception on Oct 8th and a conversation with the artist on Oct 19th at Capitol Hill Arts Workshop.
