The DC art scene is full of contemporary artists and art shows that are profound and important. DC Art Seen aims to provide professional level articles about the contemporary art shows in the DC metropolitan area.
These articles will not promote or deprecate the reputation of an artist or gallery, rather they will explain what the artist is attempting to achieve and where they fit in current trends and art history. The objective is to make the contemporary art scene accessible for many who otherwise would feel excluded and to help readers decide which shows are imperative for them to see. In order to stimulate constructive dialogue and encourage community surrounding contemporary art, comments are commended. All comments will have to be approved to ensure the integrity of the blog and the respect of readers.
Since contemporary art has appropriated many different definitions, for the sake of this blog contemporary art refers to art that deals with contemporary issues. Because of this criteria most of the artists reviewed will be living.
In addition, the comprehensive calendar of events serves as a guide to the exhibits in the area, making it easy to find shows that are interesting to you.
Please enjoy this resource and use it as a tool and as motivation to go see art!
