DC Arts Studios

A member-run nonprofit organization for artists.

We also provide exhibition opportunities and professional support, and we foster connections between our working artists so that they can collaborate and grow in their practice.

We are thrilled to share our upcoming juried group exhibition, We Are the Ones, featuring work from 18 DMV area artists. Inspired by the final line of June Jordan’s Poem for South African Women, “We are the ones we have been waiting for,” this exhibition explores what can happen when we choose collective care instead of isolation and individualism.

Join us on Sept 12 from 6-8pm for the opening reception. Free and open to everyone.

The show runs from Sept. 12 through Oct. 2. See our website for more details.
