In September, Pen Arts Gallery was one of 14 venues that took part in Art All Night in Dupont Circle, one of 16 Washington, D.C., neighborhoods celebrating the event. The gallery featured work from NLAPW's Vinnie Ream contest, as well as the Scholastic Art & Writing exhibit and oil paintings by Olga O’Hagan.

As D.C. continues to reopen and lift restrictions, we are planning for a full in-person event April 29 - May 1, 2022, and look forward to gathering together again. Learn what's new and how to register.
