Proceeds from art sales during our March exhibition, Studio Gallery 2021, will go directly to Studio Gallery, and support our mission of fostering a public appreciation for the world of the arts.

Studio Gallery grew out of the frustration that Jennie Lea Knight and Nancy Lloyd felt at their exclusion and that of other women and minority artists from representation in galleries during the 1950’s and 60’s. These two artists, along with several others, became the “Founding Mothers” of the Gallery.

In 1964 Studio Gallery opened its doors and offered these under-represented artists the opportunity to exhibit. It became an inclusive member-owned gallery that continues to highlight and provide a professional platform for DMV artists. 

Knight’s legacy continues to this day. As we navigate these tumultuous times our doors are still open. In this Spring of 2021, we are taking this opportunity to present work that is inspired by the art and life of Jennie Lea Knight.
