CulturalDC’s Mobile Art Gallery
A 40-foot shipping container, transformed into a sleek arts space that has visited all eight wards of D.C. and received over 90,000 visitors.
Our flagship Mobile Art Gallery was a direct result of addressing the shortcomings of fixed artspaces. We now collaborate with other arts institutions; community anchors; BIDS, CIDS, and Main Streets to deliver art directly to people. The Gallery actively breaks down barriers to accessing art.
Because our audience changes with each location, it’s important we don’t fall into a one-size-fits-all model. We drive impact by intentionally collaborating with our Mobile Arts Host and community partners to determine specific goals for the engagement.
