“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“I am an artist with almost a decade of experience showing my work publicly in galleries and have participated in 20 group and solo exhibitions and have been impressed by Latela's team professionalism and high quality work. Between April 2022 and July 2022 Latela Curatorial hosted an exhibition of my work in the Silva Gallery and from art selection and curation to the art hanging, from the exhibition materials to the wonderful opening reception everything was professionally done, beautiful and successful. Marta, the owner, is a wealth of knowledge of the art scene so she also puts together great group shows annually and is a great connector of artists, curators, collectors and clients. I would strongly recommend Latela Curatorial to artists, collectors and real estate clients in the Washington, DC region and beyond!”

“I came here for a paw print tattoo to memorialize my beloved cat. I'd never had a tattoo before, so I was a little nervous.The folks at Trilogy Atelier were wonderful from the minute we walked in. John, the owner, checked me in and sympathized with me about the death of my cat. He shared how he'd his St. Bernard passed four years ago and he still was grieving. That told me I was in the right place.Fabio was the artist I selected (at the recommendation of a friend). I watched him sanitize the work area. He did a great job of taking her paw print and aligning it with her name. He adjusted the stencil placement at my request by a half an inch. He used a small cordless tattoo gun with a single-use, sterile disposable needle – much friendlier than the big metal ones I remembered seeing in movies. And it didn't actually hurt all that much! The finished tattoo looks so good - you can see the details from where the fur between her toes touched the paper. The fine line tattoo for her name is crisp and clean.Afterwards, John was so excited for me to have joined the tattoo club. He remarked on the wrist placement – that it can be painful, though he didn't necessarily want to tell me that – and Fabio noted that I sat like a champ.I was given clear instructions on how to care for it (SecondSkin for a couple of days, and how to remove that when it was time), and told to call or email with any questions or concerns.I would recommend Trilogy Atelier to anyone who needs/wants a tattoo. I am so grateful to have this small piece of my cat with me forever - and to wear my heart on my sleeve, so to speak. If I could give them 10 stars, I would.”

“We held my daughter's 7th birthday party at Artfolio and they did a wonderful job. Everything was set up and ready for us upon our arrival, including a happy birthday banner. The instructor, Judy, was fantastic and clearly had a lot of experience working with children. Dina was a wonderful support and ensured all the kids had what they needed as they painted. Thank you so much for such a wonderful birthday party experience.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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”

“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!”

“Working with Delé has perhaps been one of the most enriching opportunities I have had. His creative employment of everyday objects to imagine abstract and philosophical art is unmatched. The studio experience is very personal, experiences are fluid, and the art is dynamic.Most impactful to me, I believe, was the ability to transcend beliefs and argue the essences of existence. I actually first met Delé at a lecture at George Washington University’s Philosophy Department where he gave a very detailed account of street life’s connection to existentialist philosophy. I will continue to go to the Dopamine clinic to continue this amazing art.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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!”

“Went here because they were listed on Guide to Imbibe for a drink deal and it was so fun! The exhibit was a NASA related theme which was really interesting and we ended up staying for a full 2 hours! I do recommend booking online and purchasing a drink with your ticket because it's cheaper that way than ordering at the bar”
