Fleeting: An Exhibition of Artists from Torpedo Factory Art Center Celebrating Cherry Blossoms

Each spring Alexandria and the greater DC metro area are entranced by the cherry blossoms. Originally from Japan, the cherry blossoms are fleeting, ephemeral, and impermanent. Delicate, pink, culturally and politically relevant, they are celebrated.
This exhibition is Juried/Curated by Laurel Lukaszewski, artist, awardee of the Foreign Minister’s Commendation by the Government of Japan in 2016, National Cherry Blossom Festival Emeritus Board Member, and designer of the 2025 National Cherry Blossom official lapel pin.
This exhibition is organized by the City of Alexandria Office of the Arts in partnership with the Hilton Alexandria Mark Center.
