Women Artists of the DMV
The Greater Washington, DC, capital region (the DMV) is not only home to some of the best art museums in the world, dozens of commercial art galleries, non-profit art spaces, alternative art venues, and art organizations, but it also supports and fertilizes some of the best and most creative visual art scenes in the nation.

In 2023, local DC-area curator, artist, and arts activist Florencio Lennox Campello proposed an ambitious exhibition celebrating the vibrant and diverse art scene across the three culturally rich areas which make up the DMV. The show would feature 100–150 works by an equal number of women artists, including both established figures and emerging talent. We’re thrilled to see this powerful vision come to life, honoring the depth, breadth, and brilliance of women artists in our community.

This exhibition is co-hosted by nine separate art spaces starting in late August 2025 for 6-12 weeks.  More information here.

1632 U St. NW Washington, DC 20009.

Gallery open by appointment only.
