Join us for the opening of IMPRINT 2.0, revisiting the 2005 exhibition, IMPRINT, in celebration of 20 years in our gallery.
On June 10, 2005, the Greater Reston Arts Center (GRACE) opened its doors in its Reston Town Center, Market St. gallery with IMPRINT: The Artists from a New Town, exhibition. Inspired by Robert E Simon’s belief that the arts are at the core of a thriving society, this exhibition highlighted artists whose early experiences in Reston were shaped by—and contributed to—the town’s collective spirit of community, creativity, connection, and artistic expression.
Twenty years later, GRACE, now Tephra Institute of Contemporary Art (Tephra ICA), continues to embrace Simon’s belief that the arts are an essential component of a well-rounded life.
IMPRINT 2.0 revisits the inaugural exhibition, exploring the continued careers of artists Maggie Booth, Adam Grossi, Elizabeth Kendall, Pete Petrine, Marco Rando, and Yumi Janairo Roth. This new iteration will feature painting, sculpture, ceramics, drawings, photographs, and video and will be on view in both Tephra ICA’s main gallery (July 17–August 10) and satellite gallery, Tephra ICA at Signature (July 17–August 30, 2025).
