Our Mission
At Studio Gallery DC, we believe in the transformative power of art to inspire, challenge, and bring people together. Studio Gallery has been a vital part of the Washington area's art community since its founding as an artists' cooperative in 1956. We champion local and emerging voices, foster creative exploration, and make art accessible to the public through exhibitions and community engagement. Committed to artistic excellence and inclusivity, we continue to evolve while honoring our rich history in Washington, D.C.
