Its activities focus on making both historic and contemporary art accessible through exhibitions, educational programming, research, and scholarship, serving a broad audience across diverse communities in the Washington, D.C. region. While its collection emphasizes American art, it also acquires and displays works from other nations and cultures when appropriate, reflecting its broader historical and cultural scope. Based in Washington, D.C., the organization operates with a mission rooted in education and the development of artists and designers, aiming to engage the public, support young people, and extend its influence beyond its classrooms and galleries. In recent developments, the gallery expanded its collaborative scope through partnerships that connect students with opportunities in visual and performing arts.
