THE SPACE
Have your next party at a unique art venue in downtown Washington, DC: Civilian Art Projects is now available for parties, receptions, meetings, and other special events for groups of up to 80 people. Please inquire early about available dates.
Please note, the gallery is selectively available for one night private rental events. These events are held at the discretion of the director when the exhibition permits, i.e., when there is not sculptural work or installation-based exhibitions. The walls are never available to rent for the purposes of hanging the renter's art. Civilian's exhibitions are carefully planned at least one year in advanced by the curatorial team and the director. There is no submission process to exhibit at the gallery. Please do not inquire about renting the space for an exhibition.
Located in the heart of DC's Mt. Vernon neighborhood, Civilian Art Projects' Seventh Street space is a short distance from the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, several theatres, and Metro. The contemporary gallery is a flexible, beautiful space that has the ability to adapt to each event. This classic space provides a unique setting for functions and events of all kinds.
