Colby Caldwell, one of my favorite and also one of the most innovative photographers around, opens at Hemphill Fine Arts on October 23 and his exhibition runs until November 29.


Today is the Third Friday of the month, and thus it is gallery opening night at the four Canal Square Galleries in Georgetown: Alla Rogers, Fraser, Parish and MOCA

Openings go generally from 6-9 PM and are catered by the Sea Catch Restaurant.


The Hirshhorn Museum recently announced that its Contemporary Art curator Olga Viso had been promoted to Deputy Director. This is good not only for the museum, but also for Washington area artists, as Viso has been one of the rare few DC area museum curators to show any interest in her own backyard when looking for artists. She will have Dan Steinhilber's first museum show. Steinhilber is without a doubt one of our most talented and hottest artists right now.

Kristen Hileman has also been appointed as the Hirshhorn's new Assistant Curator for Contemporary Art.
