Alex Galleries

I came here on one of the First Friday events in Dupont. This is a really beautiful, bright gallery with a small, but nicely curated selection of pieces. They have a gallery above the stairs and in the basement, as well. On the Friday that I went there was a big group of young people viewing the art and having free wine. Definitely worth checking out either on one of the First Friday events or any other time, really.

Rotating exhibits from interesting artists. I’ve been a few times on open house night. The owners and staff seem like great people, and they have a nice space with good lighting.

Located in Dupont on «Gallery Row», Alex Gallery (sometimes known as Gallery A) is the leading commercial gallery in the area. It must be hard to compete with the Phillips right next door, but somehow. this gallery does.
Alex Gallery was started by Victor Gaetan in the mid 1980’s. When you go here, I recommend you do what I did: attend an open house (held monthly on the first Friday).
Inside the two story row house, you’ll find urban-​focused contemporary paintings and sculptures. They are mostly abstract and utilize bright colors.
The artists featured here are mainly local, but you’ll also find nationally and internationally known works as well. Such as the current featured exhibit, «Three Korean Painters» who are Jin Hi Lee, Kyung Ae Kim and Hojun Song.
