Dear members and friends of AAFSW,

I am delighted to announce the launch of AAFSW’s Art and Diplomacy Series, an initiative designed to celebrate and promote the talents and inspirations of our foreign service spouses and partners. This series aims to support the foreign affairs community through the transformative impact of art.

A special thank you to Karen Dennis, a foreign service (retired) spouse, and and The Arts Council of the National Methodist Church in Washington, DC. Thanks to their support, the artists will have an annual fall exhibition in the stunning Great Hall of the church, located at the heart of the DMV area. These exhibitions are dedicated to our foreign affairs artists, providing them with a platform to share their work and perspectives on the enriching power of art and the mutual understanding of our global village and culture. Additional exhibits may be held throughout the year.
We believe that art has a unifying effect, bringing people together and fostering a sense of community. We invite you to join us for the inaugural opening of AAFSW’s Art and Diplomacy Series on November 10, 2024.
Best,

Celine

President, AAFSW
