The gallery, a cooperative run by its 125 member-artists, is in good arts company at its Seventh Street location. Named for the late D.C. City Council Chairman John A. Wilson, the gallery mounts about eight exhibitions each year dealing with broad themes that might center around a theme.
Works can range from hyper-realistic portraits to abstracted landscapes to symbolic still lifes.
Most of the art is for sale and prices begin at a couple hundred dollars. Artists whose work is hanging in the current exhibition often volunteer their time to staff the gallery. As a result, it is only open a few days a week for abbreviated hours. But a perk of this arrangement is that visitors often get to talk with artists about their work. 2001CitySearch Inc.
