HOW TO VISIT

Say that you want to see or

but you have no plans to attend the Pri-Med Regional Conference or Sneaker Mania. How does an art admirer get into the building? The easiest way is to join one of the roughly quarterly curator-led tours of the art collection. The next one is happening on September 29 at 6:30 PM, and there’s one more planned this year on October 25 at 6:30 PM. Otherwise, the building is publicish. Anyone attending an event at the Convention Center is free to roam within the boundaries of the event, and there’s art stashed all over; when there’s no event in session, or for those who aren’t registered for a particular convention, pop-up tours can be arranged through EventsDC, pending the schedules for events and building maintenance. Another way to see the collection? Keep an eye on the building as you walk around Shaw. Some of the highlights from the collection are plainly visible from the street.
