TheatreWeek Fest: New Standards Exhibit Tours

New Standards Exhibit curated by Terri Lyne Carrington, co-presented by the DC Jazz Festival, the Carr Center and, the Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice, shows the work of women composers and performers who have been either underacknowledged or rendered invisible regarding the creation, perpetuation and overall representation of the art form. New Standards puts forth the overarching question: How will the sound of jazz be impacted by women having equitable representation in creating what we consider “standard?” This exhibit has a dynamic portrait collection of 30 influential women instrumentalists and representative art.

Tours will be led by Sunny Sumter, CEO of DC Jazz Festival at 1:30pm and 2pm to lead you through the exhibit on the third-floor Cafe of Arena Stage
