As a companion to Something Left Behind: Selections from the Studio of Michael B. Platt, curated by Gia Harewood in the Main Gallery, the Lab Gallery exhibit is a testament to the power of Michael B. Platts legacy. Having taught at Northern Virginia Community College for over 30 years and Howard University for over 10, his influence reverberates through the work of his students and mentees that are showcased here. Platt exuded genuine love and support frequently telling family, friends, and students alike that art is the only thing that lasts after our short lives are over. This new generation of artists answers that call and stands as unshakeable proof of a life well lived.
