About this event

As part of this new mission, and our vision to contribute to a more regenerative art ecosystem, we are seeking to strengthen our relationships, connections and value with artists in the DMV. To this end, we would like to invite you to participate in a 2-hour in-person meeting on July 12th, 2022 at 10 am EST.

During the meeting a tour of the museum and new community spaces will be provided, followed by a presentation from the museum on some new initiatives we are launching for local artists and discussion.
