OUR PROGRAMS

artconnexDC thanks you for your support during the past two years as we continue to grow and develop the group. We are launching new programming categories, as described below, and look forward to seeing you soon!

Focus

Focus events offer participants special access to current area exhibitions, public art installations and artists’ studios for a presentation and conversation with curators, artists, and other visual arts professionals.

Pathways

Pathways is a career development series that brings local arts professionals into conversation with the artconnexDC community. Each session features a guest speaker—from emerging practitioners to established leaders—who shares candid stories about their path, the challenges they’ve faced, and the opportunities that have shaped their work. Designed to be interactive, Pathways invites questions, discussion, and connection among arts workers at every stage of their careers.

Circle

Circle is an informal social gathering that gives the artconnexDC community space to meet, connect, and converse without a formal program agenda. Hosted in flexible venues—such as bars, restaurants, galleries, or other community spaces—Circle events include light refreshments and snacks.
