Back by popular acclaim for a second exhibit, the Foundry Gallery is pleased to present the recent paintings of Ahmad Alkarkhi, a young Iraqi artist. Ahmad arrived in Washington in late August of 2009, a refugee from his beloved Iraq, ready to make a new life in America for himself, his wife, and two young children. During Ahmad’s exhibit last December at the Foundry, Susan Stamberg of National Public Radio interviewed him. You can hear the interview and view some of his paintings at: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=122214886. Reception: Friday, June 4, 6-8pm
