In the art gallery at Flashpoint, visitors experience innovative new work and interact with a diverse group of the area’s most talented emerging artists. The gallery is dedicated to nurturing artists, expanding their visibility and encouraging dialogue between artists and arts patrons. The gallery is also a venue where talented curators—both independent curators and those associated with museums or galleries—can present exhibitions that explore new ideas and provide a forum for the work of exceptional artists. As a nonprofit gallery, Flashpoint provides a special opportunity for artists and curators to present new media, site-specific installations, performance pieces and other experimental forms free from the constraints of commercial expectations.

An advisory panel of noted artists and arts professionals oversees the programming for the gallery and provides mentorship and support to exhibiting artists. The panel includes:

Chan Chao, Artist

Peter Dubeau, Associate Dean of
Continuing Studies at MICA

Brandon Fortune, Curator, Department
of Painting and Sculpture, National
Portrait Gallery

Kristen Hileman, Assistant Curator,
Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden
