A new gallery called the Capitol Crossing Gallery of Art has opened in Washington, D.C., within the Capitol Crossing development on Capitol Hill. The gallery features over 20 artists with local connections to the DMV area, including a large lobby commission by Katherine Tzu-Lann Mann. The space is curated by Alexandra Foxworth-Hill, senior property manager for Capitol Crossing Advisors, who selects abstract works that complement the building's modern, sustainable design.
This development matters because it brings a dedicated art gallery to a rapidly growing area of Capitol Hill at a time when Washington, D.C., has seen a record number of art galleries close. By integrating public art into a commercial and residential complex, the project offers a model for how private development can support local artists and provide public access to contemporary art, helping to sustain the region's cultural ecosystem.
