Local Scenes by Local Artists, January in the Bin Gallery

Art League Gallery Local DC Scenes

This month in the Bin Gallery at The Art League, we have a special wall dedicated to Local Scenes — paintings, drawings, prints, and photographs of DC and Alexandria-area sights. We asked our Bin Gallery artists to bring in their cherry blossoms, their Old Town Alexandria, their monuments, their Rock Creek Park, and more, to coincide with January’s inauguration festivities.

The Bin Gallery is a great place to find affordable work by recognized artists. To display work in the Bin Gallery, an artist must have had work juried into three or more exhibits in the past year. There are dozens and dozens of pieces for sale, both framed and unframed — our local scenes bin is restocked with iconic DC scenes, too.

Whether you’re visiting or living here, it’s a great opportunity to take home something handmade and uniquely DC!
