“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!”
“The community group put on a show called The Christmas Carol. They did a wonderful job of it. It started on time and ended on time. And the choir was great! It was an awesome experience.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Such a great vibe! Excellent service and skilled artists. Working with Blake and Sean was nothing short of amazing ! Sean provided clear and sound advice to my little sister and Blake was able to craft and deliver exactly what I wanted . Thank you !!”

“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.”

“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.”
“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!”
“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 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.”
“Great place to visit. Beautiful things to help you appreciate you are from the Motherland. Lots of History, and great Cultural gifts. Nice place for sightseeing .”
“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.”
“Along Route One in Brentwood is one of many art centers in PG County. You can't miss this one! With a small parking lot there's public art outside of the brick building. Open Monday-Saturday starting at 10am is a gift shop and art gallery with rotating exhibits. They also host events like an annual holiday market with local artisans and makers.”
“Stable Arts is one of the best things going in DC for artist. I love it's location in Eckington and I encourage everyone to contribute and check out their public events.”
“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.”
