With more than 60 artists juried into the Artist Program, it is well established at the Workhouse. About 50 artists occupy studios at the Workhouse Arts Center and approximately 10 display their work at the Arches Gallery.

While Arches Gallery Artists don’t have a studio at the Workhouse, they work collectively to maintain a gallery space in W-9 for a $45 monthly fee. Artists benefit from being part of a collaborative and learning environment in the greater metropolitan Washington region. Shared values of artists in the program include:

• Creatively growing within a community of artists

• Continuing to learn the business of art

• Producing sales of artwork

• Gaining professional visibility

All artists in the program are considered Workhouse Artists.

Gallery

The beautiful 1,200 sq. ft. gallery is centrally located near the middle of the Workhouse Quad. The space is climate controlled with track lighting, drywall and historic brick walls, and wireless internet.

Group

Artists meet monthly to change exhibits and participate in the Workhouse Second Saturday Art Walk. Artists also participate by gallery monitoring at least one day a month. Check out their facebook page or web site.
