ART GALLERY

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 2009 – 2010 panel includes:

Chan Chao, Artist

Anne Collins Goodyear, Assistant Curator
of Prints and Drawing, National
Portrait Gallery

Philippa Hughes, Collector &
Founder/Director, The Pink Line Project

Milena Kalinovska, Director of Public
Programs, Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden

Andrea Pollan, Director, Curator’s Office

Gerald Ross, Director of Exhibitions, Maryland Institute College of Art
