CenterArts Presents J. Aiden Simon June 26th

CenterArts is proud to present the work of Baltimore artist J. Aiden Simon, on display through the end of July at The DC Center.

Stop by the DC Center Friday June 26th between 5:30 PM and 8:00 PM for the opening reception of the exhibit and meet the artist J. Aiden Simon. The DC Center is located at 1111 14th Street NW Suite 350.

Simon's collection of photographs, "Member" developed out of the artist's frustration with monotonous photos of transsexual people: either nudes from the neck down, or clothed transsexual people doing everyday things.

"Member" is meant to portray the diversity of men's bodies in a way that dignifies the models, showing people viewers can relate to, not the faceless bodies of anonymous medical photographs.

Simon aims to increase viewers' awareness of transsexual people and illustrate that it is not always, or even often, evident if a person is transsexual.

The photographs will be in The DC Center through the end of July. The DC Center, located at 1111 14th Street NW, Suite 350, is open to the public Monday through Friday from 2:30 to 6:30 PM.
