Artists Who Make the Impossible Possible | Washington DC News

In “Tomorrow the Sun Will Rise,” The Phillips Collection unveils a vibrant, gritty snapshot of D.C.’s art scene through 48 local artists—many juggling full-time jobs—who turn scarcity into creativity. From Danyela June Brown rowing “STUDIO” across the Potomac to Se Jong Cho’s sci-fi miniatures, the show weaves themes of language, memory, and resilience. Artists like Gail Shaw-Clemons, Abdulrahman Naanseh, and Joey Mánlapaz transform everyday moments and words into tactile, emotional landscapes. Unexpected threads—like coffee—tie disparate works together, while sensory installations (beeswax scents, embroidered pain, dust-as-poetry) remind us that art is felt as much as seen. This isn’t just an exhibition—it’s a living portrait of artists fighting for space, voice, and meaning in a demanding world.
