Walked in and was greeted by the staff. There were multiple exhibits around different corners. Surprised to see so many mixed-media works.

I attended the gallery for the first time with an artist friend who wanted to see her friend’s opening. The gallery holds contemporary collections and shows with receptions, which are worth attending. We enjoyed looking at two shows while sipping wine and nibbling appetizers. This gallery isn’t in a part of town I’d normally frequent, so it was a wonderful initiation to the DC art scene and a gem of a nearby restaurant.

Generally three exhibits going on at the same time. Two are solo exhibits and one is a group exhibit. Just saw a black and white landscapes by Harvey Kupferberg of the American Southwest and a photographic exhibit of African American life.

I happened to visit Touchstone Gallery during one of their opening receptions, and it was so great I've been coming to each one thereafter! Touchstone Gallery is a small gallery on New York Ave that offers great and affordable contemporary art. Loved that most of the artists were at the opening- not to mention great music, wine, and appetizers- all free! Definitely recommend Touchstone to anyone looking to buy local art, and for a great time during their opening receptions!

we had a wedding reception here, it was great! it was affordable, and the staff was extremely helpful.
