This year not only marks Smith Center for Healing and the Arts’ 20th anniversary, but also the 5th Alchemical Vessels exhibition and benefit. This year’s concept for A-V-5 is The Night’s Journey: 125 artists, chosen by 20 curators, have been asked to create or choose a vessel to tell their story about the cyclical passage from pain to healing – a journey that resonates with all of us. Once again we are offering the opportunity to take home one of these unique artworks and this year we’ve added an additional ticket option based on your feedback. Each ticket sold directly supports our mission as Washington DC’s only independent integrative cancer support organization.
