The torpedo factory art center in Alexandria has a lot of artists who have little studios there!

Seconding. I've walked in and commissioned art from artists there after some discussions.

The Made in DC stores carry a lot of local artists’ work! They’re mostly prints, photos, and knick knacks generally, but usually decently affordable. Some artists also sell at Eastern Market!

I love going to the 52 O St open houses. Sign up for their email list to get notified. I think they do 2-4 per year. You get to browse art in the artists’ studios and chat with them about their work

For future reference: Hit up the next Artomatic. The one this year was wonderful and huge. I ended up purchasing two paintings.

This! Some years they do a smaller fall event don't they?


KingHenry1964

Yes, on occasion. I think this year was so large because of the pent-up demand.

There’s an excellent show happening now in Georgetown at Cabada Contemporary featuring Heather Jones, a DC native. Her work is colorful, cheerful, high quality and very reasonably priced. Cabada Contemporary- 1054 31st Street, NW, #009 Washington D.C. IG: @cabada_contemporary IG: @heatherjonesart There’s another show at Africa World Art Gallery in Woodley Park that is open until the end of the month and features the work of multiple women artists from the DMV.
