The event is hosted by Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Zeta Chi Omega Chapter & The Ivy Foundation of Northern Virginia (IFNV). The exhibit will be part of the The Cooley-Moore Scholarship Luncheon and Fashion Show on Sunday, November 9, 2025 at the Hilton McLean Tysons Corner

Enchanted Elegance A Canvas of Couture and Culture seeks submissions from emerging and established artists whose work resonates with the themes of Black excellence, HBCU legacy, Divine Nine culture, scholarship, and service. We welcome diverse media, including painting, photography, digital art, sculpture, and mixed-media.

We are especially interested in pieces that offer a contemporary interpretation of these enduring traditions. 

This exhibit theme is designed to be elegant, meaningful, and directly supportive of the fundraising goals of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. Zeta Chi Omega Chapter and the Ivy Foundation of Northern Virginia. It will provide a sophisticated and culturally rich backdrop for a successful scholarship event.
