Pathways Event:
Edith Graves, Art Advisor
“The selection of artwork in a home is much more than an emblem of good taste. The right piece of art reflects the collector, inspires conversation, creates a mood,and unfolds surprising vistas from one room to the next.”
Please join us for our first Pathways Event.
Happy spring, artconnexDC!
We are delighted to be hosting our first Pathways event featuring Edith Graves.

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.
