“Italo Frame did a great job. They were patient, helpful, and showed me several excellent frame and mat options. We made the right choice, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.”
“My wife and I have been to Art Museums all over the world. The British National Gallery, the Louvre, d'Orsey, the MET, among others and this is, honestly the best. The collection is well curated, the staff is wonderful, it wasn't crowded, the building itself was beautiful inside and out. Best of all, the staff was very friendly, knowledgeable, and the layout was intuitive.”
“I have been going here for 25 years. I love it. Lots of bathrooms. Good air conditioning. Fun shops nearby. You have to see the glass aquariums the print studios and the views from the studios around the elevators are fantastic.
We met the current president Edward Mccluney. The sun print artist has items that say torpedo factory that make good gifts.”
“Got work done by Alex and couldn't be happier! Incredible work and he has an INCREDIBLY LIGHT TOUCH! Sat for two 6 hour sessions and felt fine after both. Shading and linework is flawless. If you're looking top tier work, you can't do better than this!”
“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!”
“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!!!!!”
“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.”
“Dear Principle Gallery Team, I wanted to extend my heartfelt thanks to all of you for hosting this year’s Old Town Festival of Speed & Style Poster Reveal Party. Your gallery once again provided an incredible setting that elevated the entire event, blending artistry, elegance, and community in such a memorable way. Events like this simply wouldn’t be the same without your partnership, and I’m truly grateful for your ongoing commitment to the community and to celebrating creativity in all its forms.”
“Fabulous work on 3 pieces of art I purchased on vacation. Each was perfectly matted with complementary colors and museum-quality glass. Pricing is very fair for the quality of work you receive. I will definitely be back in the future, this will be the only place I go for framing. FYI Location is very close to JCPenny, the map shows a different location in the mall.”
“This is a wonderful spot in the community - truly a gem that brings people together through its amazing art shows. The exhibits are consistently impressive, diverse, and remarkably affordable, making high-quality art accessible to everyone.
I saw the Punk The Capital Documentary here and it was great. Although very loud, i wish the projector screen was bigger but it was still great.
The young woman working the front desk couldn’t be kinder; her warmth and enthusiasm make you feel instantly welcome. I’m so grateful this space exists and sincerely hope to see more galleries like it across the DMV area.”
“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!”
“Historical building, friendly and knowledgeable staff, had a free art exhibit upstairs that was a wonderful experience. Picked up some lovely prints. If we were local I would sign up for one of their printing classes.”
“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.”
“Just finished a 3 weeks evening welding class. So much fun, even for a complete beginner! Erwin gives all the info and support you need and you can go as deep as you wish to learn, or simply enjoy yourself experimenting with tools, machines and techniques. Highly recommended.”
“So pleased with the attention to detail. The did a beautiful job framing a watercolor my father painted almost 60 years ago. Thank you so much and look forward to bringing additional paintings from my father for you to beautifully take care of as they deserve.”
“From antique painting restoration to unique and challenging framing projects, there’s nobody better to work with. Highly skilled, meticulously detailed, and extremely helpful!”
“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!”
“This is such a cool space hiding under Dupont Circle! Came here for the Common Ground / Common Future exhibit where a bunch of local photographers had works on display. I look forward to seeing more shows here! Worth it just to drop in a see the street art around the perimeter.”
“We hosted an event yesterday at the beautiful Hill Center on their entire 2nd floor, and can't tell you how amazing it was. The venue is beautiful. The staff is incredible: positive, helpful willing to make your event perfect and easy, from set up, to complicated audio, to clean up; special call out to Liz, Leroy, and James. I hope I can host another event there!”

“Made in ALX hosted an 11 year old birthday party for my daughter and 13 friends. It was perfect. The owner worked seamlessly in advance to plan and coordinate with me - responding quickly without delay. She was incredibly easy to work with. They had a large table set up and decorated with about a million options of beads and charms. The girls created necklaces/bracelets and 2 hours was the perfect amount of time. The jewelry instructor was patient, working well with 13 girls - providing clear instruction and guidance. I would not hesitate to have another birthday party (or any kind of party!) with Made in ALX. Thank you for such a great experience!!”
“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!”
“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.”
“I love toolbox Pilates!!! I’ve taken 4 beginner reformer classes now and it’s so much fun and a good challenge. I wish the instructors were doing to exercises along side you, but they’re very good at cueing. The space is just absolutely gorgeous. Love it!!”
“We came here for my wife's birthday to buy her a full yukata. We had been there 4 years prior purchasing some small earthwares that were gorgeous. Everything inside was so beautiful and you can tell the craftsman and store owner took pride in their art. She was also amazing with my wife helping her pick out the perfect yukata showcasing the perfect customer service you see in Japan. We HIGHLY recommend Tokiya Japan and are loyal customers.”
“I love district clay center! I highly recommend it as an introductory pottery studio. It is a large teaching studio (the largest in the area). The teachers are great and knowledgeable. Once you get in a class you are able to drop in on any other scheduled classes to practice. Getting off the waitlist can be a challenge, I recommend signing up for as many waitlists as possible.”
“3 story free art museum. Your experience might vary based on the current exhibits but the current OSGEMEOS exhibit was a treat. Tickets aren't required but they do help the museum crowd plan if you sign up on their website.”
“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”
“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.”

“Lots of shops and eateries. The conservatory is always beautifully decorated, although the schedule of the displays online is off by a few days. We planned to see the winter display, online listed Jan. 20 as the end date for that theme ,however, when we arrived on Jan. 9 they were already finishing up installation of the Chinese New Year themed display. I was disappointed but it was atill beautiful to see.”
