WPA NEWS
Kristina BIlonick named Program Director of WPA
Kristina Bilonick studied painting and printmaking at the University of New Hampshire, and returned to her native DC in 2000 to get her feet wet in the DC arts community. Her first stint was as gallery manager of Govinda Gallery in Georgetown, where she witnessed the birth of fine art ink jet editions championed by Adamson Editions.
As a visual artist, Kristina rents an art studio in the NOMA district where she works on printmaking, glasswork and multi-media installation. Her work will be included in the upcoming E5 show at Transformer Gallery. Last year, she made her debut in the curatorial arena with a show at DC Arts center called The New Future.
