“I love this place. The theater is gorgeous and I'm my opinion it doesn't have bad seats even at the very top. Parking garage is free and there's a covered walkway to the theater entrance. I've gone to see a ballet performance and a tango with live music. It's truly incredible and very affordable. I highly recommend.”
“The best ever! I had a framing job done here & its the best ive ever seen. This place is must! The quality is unmatched!! Thanks SO much again. Cant wait to be back!!”
“I definitely recommend. The whole shop is clean and everyone is amazing. I had a full day session with Dima for a portrait of my father who passed. Man it came out 10/10. Made me emotional. Beyond impressed. I will definitely be going back.”
“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!!!!!”
“As a frequent visitor, I just checked out the latest exhibits. It's pleasant to see whatever is currently shown, and almost always there's a beautiful (IMHO) and affordable work that someone else has snapped up. Grounds also are pretty.”
“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!”

“5 stars 5 stars 5 stars!! I always knew of this place but don’t realise how extensive it truly was!! A huge amount of fun classes and activities for all ages! We attended a kids painting class and it was really fun for the little ones. Teacher was great and interactive. Overall a great experience and we will be back”
“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.”
“I'm a newbie at stained glass, so when I had to finish up a piece I started at an intro class, I was lucky enough to find this place! I booked studio time and the generous staff helped me throughout. I really liked the atmosphere and the large selection of supplies they had. I didn't buy glass or take their classes, but I think I will in the future!”
“We had a great experience with them. Great customer service. The owner is really sweet and helpful. Very delicate with the paintings and diplomas that we had framed. Great quality!”

“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.”

“Wonderful organization and the heart of Mclean. Great way to get introduced to new artist to start collecting. Also a great place to take our classes. Summer camps for children are over the top”
“Need the gift of a lifetime to celebrate
a one-of-a-kind company, colleague,
family member or friend?
Look no further than One of a Kind’s
stunningly creative and gloriously memorable
shadow boxes.
A life, a story, a history all encapsulated in
perfect miniatures whose size belies their
impact and whose memories are a gift in
themselves for posterity.
I know this firsthand.
Hope you soon will as well!

“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.”
“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 had 3 very special pieces of art that held sentimental value that I needed reframed, but I also needed it very quickly. They immediately went above and beyond to get it done when I needed it, but they even accommodated a special request in a brilliant, creative, and unique way. This is exactly why we support small business. Can't get this level of service in those chain stores.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Judith Heartsong has in record time transformed this building into an amazing collective of highly skilled artists and makers. Fabulous energy and wonderful diversity of crafts fill this space. The exhibitions thus far have been top notch! You have to see and experience to fully understand. Congratulations to Artists & Makers Studios!!”

“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!!”

“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.”
“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.”
“Whether to dip your toes into art world or an art collecting veteran, Adah Rose gallery has it all. This is by far the strongest and most versatile artwork in the DMV. Artists continue to get rave reviews from the Washington Post and local publications alike. The owner is so welcoming and truly has a passion for creators and the work. I cannot say enough about the delightful encounters and artwork I get to experience when I step into the gallery.”
“Ginger was so wonderful when I was in a time crunch to get a collage of photos put together for my boss to give as a gift. She not only did it in a quick amount of time, but she provided a lot of guidance for how to tell a story through the arrangement of photos. Now he has a beautiful frame! Thank you so much!”
“This was my first experience with Artistic Custom Framing and I couldn’t be happier. Their team framed my work with speed and quality at a great price. I forgot to specify the orientation of two pieces and needed the hanging wire fixed at pickup, but they addressed it on the spot at no extra charge.”
