5301 Tuckerman Ln, North Bethesda“What a gorgeous music and performance hall! When I visited DC I'm glad I ventured here when the Kennedy Center was sold out. The BSO was amazing during their season's opening night. Will be returning (for them) and for more soon!”
“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!”
“Mosaic Arts is a wonderful treasure for the Fairfax community. The gallery is professionally run, well organized and masterful in the display of the multiple shows. The gallery showcases established artists and those emerging talents in the area. The owners are friendly and inclusive. This venue is definitely worth stopping by, seeing a variety of innovative work and enjoying the visual splendor.”

208 King St, Alexandria“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.”
“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!”
“Excellent experience! Natalie took extra care and time to ensure I had the best glass type and frame color I was looking for to give a friend her wedding photo. The photo looks stunning against the gold wood color and is easy to see without too much reflection. I had a chance to enjoy the studios and chat with an artist before leaving. Got a call within a month that everything was ready for pickup and it was exactly as described. Will be returning for future photos and also to enjoy the art work at the studios.”
“We have now had several large photographs framed at Artistic Custom Framing. We were given good advice about the design of the frames and matting. The results were excellent -- the framing complements the photographs and enhances their presentation. The price is fair, and the service is prompt.”
“Absolutely stellar. The woman who helped me was very kind and gave me her best possible estimates and options, and even with some flexibility if I wanted to do some parts "DIY". Very helpful, I fully recommend this shop!”
9:30AM - 5PM
1625 K St NW, Washington“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!”

201 Prince St, Alexandria“Cannot express how thankful I am that this building was the venue for my wedding this past weekend. The staff was wonderful to work with and the location is one that is very special in mine and my husband’s hearts. It was an absolutely magical day, and I would highly recommend hosting a wedding or event here for anyone considering.”
10AM - 7PM
4745 Lee Hwy, Arlington“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!!!!!”

105 N Union St, Alexandria“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 go here with friends for the afternoon Tea. It is always delightful and relaxing. Great way to spend an afternoon. The music is very soothing and beautiful.”
“I went in and wanted a picture framed. Richard helped be a lot and was extremely kind and gave me a handful of well priced options. Highly recommend it here if you want something framed.”

1627 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington“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!”
“They fixed a shade for me. Everything was quick and painless. Even if you don’t need repairs or work with stained glass yourself I would check them out. It’s beautiful inside.”
“I had a great experience here. I brought in a project involving framing and matting several photos together. I received excellent advice on spacing, color, and frames, which was a huge help. I also needed a fairly quick turnaround as it was a gift, and they were able to accommodate me with having it ready on my timeline (less than two weeks). It is a beautiful project and will be treasured for years to come. I would definitely come back here!”
“What a great team! They did a custom canvas job for me and I couldn't be happier! Reasonably priced, great communication, professional staff, and delivered on time. I highly recommend Bethesda Custom Framing!!!”
“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!”
“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”
“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!”
“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!”

“We would like to express our gratitude to Waverly Street Gallery for curating such a remarkable exhibition. Their commitment to showcasing diverse voices and perspectives within the art community is commendable.”
“It's hard to know who to trust with your new, expensive artwork - I went to a couple of framing stores and was very relieved when I met the lovely people at Italo Frame.
I knew I could trust them immediately and they did a great job with my custom framing job! I even asked for some atypical design requests and they brought my vision to life. Thank you, will be back!”
