“If you're ever in Washington DC, this is a must-visit. It's free and you get to see some amazing quality art. The curators are very friendly and you can meet many of the artists who work there. There are so many pieces on display, I'd recommend setting aside at least four hours to explore. I also highly recommend the contemporary art in the east wing.”
“This is an absolutely gorgeous space to see the work of talented local artists. There are often 2 exhibits at a time and during the opening receptions the artists mingle amongst the guests to talk about their work and the creative process. There is also a lively shop where you can purchase unique pieces from featured and past exhibitors.”
“It was my first time getting tattooed at this shop and it was an overall great experience. The environment is professional and fun to be around. I got tattooed by Maria and she did an amazing job, not just with the tattoo itself but with her communication skills and attentiveness. I would definitely come back!”
“Deri and her team truly brought our wedding vision to life! We are so thankful for Deri and the amount of work she put into our wedding to make it so meaningful and memorable for us. Deri is attentive, passionate, caring, and a true visionary that has your best interest in mind and will do whatever it takes to make sure it comes to life. She's always willing to come up with creative options, thinks outside the box, and has your best interest in mind from working with vendors, providing recommendations on rehearsal dinner and lodging, to everything in between. We know that we were in great hands with Deri! Deri also makes herself available to meet (over the phone and in person) whenever you need it and we are so appreciative of her! We are so happy we chose to start our union on Union! Highly recommend Deri and TFAC!”

“Excellent way to present the life and works of this talented and interesting artist. I learned a lot about him, in a highly engaging way. And I loved how the interactive experience allowed us to go inside his paintings and really feel them using all of our senses.I just wish the tickets were more affordable! Paying almost $150 for a couple to spend one hour at the museum (including VR) is overpriced.”
“The store is clean and well decorated. They offer a lot of Japanese hand made tableware. And many kimonos and clothing from Japan. The owner is friendly and helpful.”
“We had the most wonderful, intimate, courtyard wedding at the Atheneum! The team was a pleasure to work with, quick to respond, and answered all our questions. The venue was stunning!”
“There are two stores that are generally opened in the arts center. The vintage shop and book store by visiting there is always awesome. I also enjoy the changing exhibitions as well as the community events.”
“Awesome art by daytime comedy and poetry at nighttime. Never have I ever felt a more inclusive atmosphere. If you want REAL nightlife, come here. I believe Wednesday and Friday they have the comedy nights. Close to metro station. Can walk to destination from train stop. Also there a 24 hour diner close by ?? most go!”
“Purchased art from this gallery after some shopping around and it was a wonderful experience.The staff was friendly and warm, plus very knowledgeable and passionate about the art itself. You can tell they all love what they do!I don't live in the area so I chose to have the art shipped home. It was done very carefully and professionally, and arrived as expected and in perfect condition.Just couldn't be happier with my experience with Principle Gallary and can't wait to purchase some art again soon.”

“I'd like to add another well-deserved five star review for International Art Gallery and Custom Framing. I recently brought in my own frame (purchased used and with another print already inside) and a print that I wished to have installed and custom matted for that frame, and we received excellent attention and advice on the best way to make the print fit and how best to accommodate it with a new mat. The proportions of the new print and the old frame were close but not a perfect match and so I knew some compromises would be required, and the owner (I think it was - I'm sorry we didn't get your name!) walked us through the various possibilities, pros and cons of what I wished to do.The end result is perfect, the compromises so minimal that I don't even remember what they were, and he even made some cosmetic touch ups to the used frame which had a scuff here and there. Our living room now looks that much better with our print framed and looking great, and we'll certainly be back as we continue slowly outfitting our house with artwork. I can highly recommend you visit International Art Gallery and Custom Framing and have them handle any framing work!”
“Absolutely fabulous experience. Brought in an old, beaten-up frame and a high-res picture file -- George printed a beautiful giclée on canvas and framers put it together seamlessly. After a negative experience at another print shop where they condescendingly and incorrectly told me they couldn't make this piece happen, KH brought it to life. Thank you!!!!!”
“So cute! You MUST visit if you are looking for new dishware. The designs vary by artist, but they are so heartwarming and special. The different styles are incredible, and some are based on the local flora and fauna, making them unique to the area. You can even meet the artists!”

“I took my first ever reformer class with Zaina at Toolbox and I was super nervous to try the equipment and try something new. She clearly explained and guided us through the class. I will be back!”
“Beautiful experience on Christmas Eve at the ice rink at the Sculpture Garden, we enjoyed the ambience and environment, it really is majestic to skate in the shadow of the nations monuments and National Archives, it was a beautiful day for our intro to the ice. Tickets are only available on site before skate sessions that start at the top of the hour. The Ice is cleared 15 minutes before the end of the skate session for maintenance, this includes the Zamboni run, and if you have smaller children as I do, they may also enjoy this part. Although no skating aids are available, we ventured out into the ice for the first time and enjoyed pulling ourselves along the way. It was a great Christmas Eve activity for my family”

“5 stars because it's a great place amidst a community of wonderful fine artists and I'm not just saying that because the owner is a friend of mine...okay, maybe a little bit.”
“Great little gem in Alexandria Old Town. If you’re a book person and you’re looking for something special, you should definitely visit Bernard’s store. Carefully curated selection of books and Bernard will be happy to give you recommendations if you’d like to. :-) We’ll be back!”
“Both cookbooks by Marcella are staples in my kitchen, and her shop is a go-to for all types of inspiring gifts. Her artistry is intentional and she offers a wide variety of ways to enjoy her illustrations. If you're in the DC area, sign up for a watercolor & cocktail workshop. It was one of the funnest experiences!”
“Attended a celebration for this artist's book compiled as a series of zines. Gallery lovely with wide open space to view art by Sam Gilliam and other notables on their walls.”
“I came to the museum last year for the now-closed Yayoi Kusama exhibit a year ago. It was such a beautiful and unique exhibit, even though it was disappointing to have about 30 seconds in the infinity mirrors space, and you had to move fast due to the crowd. The gift shop is pretty nice, as you can get a inflatable lamp, and some unique puzzles. Gelato here is pretty good, but I do think they would attract more people if they sold sandwiches or bagels to go with the coffee you can buy from the shop. Also, the main floor, which is where you check in with security is a bit crowded.Tomorrow is the last day to see the Simone Leigh exhibit, but for those who love poetry, there's also the Jessica Diamond: Wheel of Life that will be there until June. I do think the temporary exhibits are what makes Hirshhorn a unique museum as there's not much to see with the Barbara Kruger exhibit. Pickett's Charge is pretty nice, and you will often find yourself walking around the entire museum through that exhibit.For tourists, I would recommend one trip a year. Hirshhorn not a museum that you would want to keep coming back to as it can get repetitive. Definitely check for the temporary exhibits because that's what makes this museum great.”
“Found it recently! It's a very nice place to walk around and browse. The place has a lot to offer, and it's a good idea to scan the collection. I'd also recommend to have a vague idea of what you're looking for before stepping in if you're looking to buy. The guy working there is very pleasant, and I'd come by again!”
“What a surprise to visit an intimate theater (4-5 rows of theater seating) that puts you right there within the performance… We saw Niagara which was an outstanding time… Highly recommended!”
“An amazing use of space in an abandoned old trolley station. It's currently a work in progress and only a portion of it is open, but it's worth checking out. It has so much potential! I can't wait to see the finished product!”
“10 stars if I could!Excellent artworks. Fun gallery openings, everyone is sociable and talented. A great range of hand crafted items to choose from also. Plenty of workshops as well, well attended”
“Exceptional client experience and beautiful jewelry. I was traveling from the West Coast and used to live in the DC metro area. I've always loved the Torpedo Art Center, but when I met Natalie Abrams I was completely taken with her work. Her jewelry is simple, yet elegant. I chose a necklace that I liked, but she didn't have the chain width or length at that time. I chose another chain and Natalie discussed sending it to me because I was only in town for a couple of days. A couple days later Natalie sent me an email stating she was excited to find the exact chain and was very happy with for me. I received the necklace a few days later and it was just perfect - the exact length and chain width. I have received so many compliments. I tell everyone where I purchased it and have directed them to Natalie's website. Not only is Natalie an exceptional artist, but she is truly committed to creating a great client experience.”
“Found this nice little gallery on Google maps and decided to visit on a Saturday. They were having a show at the time so didn't have many works on display, so the owner suggested us to look on their website. The website has a very large selection of artworks. We decided to get something for our living room wall from the website and narrowed down to an artist's painting. Her paintings size were a bit smaller than we'd like, but then the gallery owner told us that they also do commission work and we can ask for a specific painting size and add other stuff like different colors! We were a bit nervous about the whole customization thing but the owner was really nice and went through the whole process with us, also checking in once in a while to make sure we got exactly what we need. We also had the painting frame customized, and the painting was delivered to our door in a few weeks. It was a very unique and special experience for us and we'll be coming back for more art in the future!”

“Went here to have a painting framed that was left to me by my grandmother. It was treated with the utmost respect and care. The final framing product was perfect.”
