OUR MISSION
BK Adams, outterman vs innerMAN" (June 2021)
Honfleur Gallery is a contemporary art space located in the Historic Anacostia neighborhood. The gallery is free and open to the public. Honfleur maintains a rigorous schedule of exhibitions and programming focusing on cutting-edge contemporary exhibitions by artists from east of the Anacostia River, the United States, and abroad.
Experimental media and installation works are welcome at Honfleur alongside more traditional art media. Implementing diverse projects is a consistent goal with exhibitions ranging from thematic exhibitions, group shows, international residencies, solo exhibitions, experimental projects, and artist collaborations. Arts grants are awarded annually.
The gallery houses 1700 square feet of exhibition space on two floors and opened in January 2007, a project of Ward 8 nonprofit, ARCH Development Corporation. ADC is an organization dedicated to using the arts as a catalyst for local revitalization in Anacostia and has been a member of the Anacostia Community for over 20 years. Event space rentals in line with our mission are available. Visit our website for details.
The gallery's construction was funded, in part, by the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities.
