Belonging: Stories from the Seafarers Yacht Club of Washington, DC

About the Exhibition

This Phillips@THEARC inaugural exhibition celebrates the achievements and ongoing contributions of The Seafarers Yacht Club of Washington, DC, the first African American Yacht Club in the United States, located in Southeast DC, along the Anacostia River. Spearheaded by Double Nickels Theatre, this archival project includes portraits of original club members, the current Commodore (the club president), and a number of active captains and members who were photographed, filmed, and interviewed. Photographs by DC area photographers Jesse F. Berry, Lawrence Green, and Dylan Alvarez.

Join us for a Seafarers reception! March 17, 3-5 pm, at Phillips@THEARC
