Grand opening including a special panel discussion with Topper Carew on February 10, 2024.

The New Thing Art and Architecture Center, founded by former architect turned film and TV production pioneer Topper Carew, served as a beacon of inspiration and artistry for the once predominantly Black, Adams Morgan neighborhood in Washington DC from 1966 - 1972.

This exhibition is a timeless testament to the beauty of empowering our communities.
