Foundry Gallery

For over fifty years, Foundry Gallery has supported and showcased some of Washington, DC’s most promising and accomplished artists. As a non-profit, artist-owned cooperative gallery, Foundry offers a rich diversity of original works of art and focuses on providing exposure and recognition to new and emerging artists. This enables us to feature work not widely seen before.

Foundry Gallery was established in 1971 by four students of well-known Washington, DC painter Gene Davis. Sharing space in the old Duvall Foundry building in Georgetown, the group grew to include more artists. After two other moves in our more than 40-year history, in 2015 we moved to brand new space in a vibrant new neighborhood at the north end of Shaw on 8th Street, NW.

Gallery membership embodies a rich diversity of artistic styles, mediums and techniques. A continuous and abundant influx of new artwork is exhibited, appealing to both novice and experienced art collector alike.
