First off, I need to tell you the area this gallery is kinda sketch. Like, really sketch. It is a…read morepretty new art place - the owner told me the space used to be a pawn shop. So yeah, nice neighborhood. Um..not really. I'm sure if the stadium project happens, this hood is going to turn around like U Street has, but until then -- enjoy the view of a burned out building. And if you get hungry there is a take out pizza place right next door so there's a plus. I got a preview of the show going on now (although I heard a rumor they had to postpone the opening due to some maintenance/construction issues). If you have ever said "Art is boring," the No Scratchers exhibit is for you. You'll see photos of people in ink (that means tattoos to those folks not in the know). Really beautiful, unique, and not the norm as far as "art" goes.

We had such a great time that we ended up getting married here 3 years later! For several months, we worked with Kyle. He is one of the coolest guys to work with. So accommodating and understanding. He was very patient with us, our family and our wedding coordinator. We had booked the venue before renovations were scheduled, and while we hit some bumps on the road. Kyle was absolutely great. He followed through with everything and made our night happen. The venue has changed so much since our first visit. They acquired more space and turned the back patio into a bar/dance floor. We love the exhibits here and the eclectic vibe. Our wedding was beautiful, unique and so perfect! They do special events, private events and cool exhibits. Located on H Street, right near all the cool spots to eat, drink and shop.

I left energized and inspired! First, they had a DJ performing great music and while I am sure that is not always the case, it added to the scene. They had beautiful local art on the walls as well as a separate exhibit where you could purchase distinct art from a number of different artists. The bookstore had a great selection of books, bookmarks, and other items to inspire and motivate. There was a studio and event space as well as a second hand shop. It looks like they had a number of offices and co-working space for entrepreneurs. They also were hosting a number of workshops and community-building events. Moreover, there were a number of businesses and restaurants on the block and nearby which helps position the AAC at the heart of the community. I hope to be back for a future visit to catch events, workshops, and walk away energized.

When I've peered through the windows it tends to look abandoned, with art hanging crooked and furniture strewn about. The same art is there for months, but there is never anyone around? On their website it says that it is apparently DC's "largest contemporary art gallery", but it appears to be more of a rarely used wedding and corporate event venue.

This event was a wine tasting/party where local vineyards and wineries had tables/stands and offered samples of their rosé. City winery DC, district winery and Barboursville vineyards were there, among others. It seems like Longview is a pretty versatile space. I've seen weddings take place here too--would consider having mine here if I weren't poor. But, I can't comment on the pricing or service for Longview because I haven't been involved in organizing/hosting an event here. However, I can say that it's fun to ATTEND events here. Blagden alley is also behind it so you can have Tiger Fork, The Dabney, and a bunch of other places right there. Espita Mezcaleria is basically next door.
