Foundry Gallery

History

Foundry Gallery was established in 1971 by four students of well-known Washington, DC painter Gene Davis. Sharing space in the old Duvall Foundry building in Georgetown, the group grew to include more artists. After two other moves in our more than 40-year history, in 2015 we moved to brand new space in a vibrant new neighborhood at the north end of Shaw on 8th Street, NW. Gallery membership embodies a rich diversity of artistic styles, mediums and techniques. A continuous and abundant influx of new artwork is exhibited, appealing to both novice and experienced art collector alike.

Specialties

As an artist-run organization, Foundry offers an alternative gallery experience, through artist talks, workshops, opening receptions, demonstrations and consultations. And as a cooperative, we can also allow artists greater control over the exhibition and sale of their work. And of course, Foundry is able to offer the highest quality art at more affordable prices than commercial galleries. Foundry Gallery is available to rent for social events. Perfect for parties of 50 (seated) or up to 70 (standing). Check our website under Gallery rental for rates and details.
