"a curator's office
in a micro gallery setting..."
Dedicated to contemporary
art and culture, Curator's Office is an innovative concept that merges
the idea of workspace and exhibition space. Both curatorial activities
and the display of contemporary art work takes place within a micro
gallery environment. Curator's Office offers a wide range of curatorial
and art consulting services and is run by Director and Founder, Andrea
Pollan.
Curator's Office is located in a dynamic gallery building in the culturally progressive Logan Circle area of Washington, DC. Curator's Office shares a building with the following contemporary galleries: Adamson Gallery, G Fine Art, and Hemphill. It is within a block of Fusebox and Transformer galleries.
