Book Description

The Greater Washington, D.C., capital region is not only home to some of the best art museums in the world, hundreds of art galleries, non-profit art spaces, alternative art venues, and art organizations, but it also supports one of the best visual art scenes in the nation. Celebrating this art scene, award-winning artist and prominent critic and commentator, F. Lennox Campello, has compiled works by 100 leading contemporary visual artists who represent the tens of thousands of artists working in this culturally and ethnically diverse region. Equally diverse are the artistic styles and media you will see in this catalog, the first of its kind for the capital area. With more than 640 works of art, Campello offers a primer for both the savvy art collector and the beginning collector, highlighting his selection of emerging artists who deserve more attention.
