There's something waiting for you to discover at Zenith Gallery. An incredibly rich, often eclectic array of work touching on just about every medium. Lots of local artists as well as well-known and international names. Zenith Gallery consists of a house that was been completely filled to the brim with a lifework's collection. Be sure to get a guided tour, and ask about your interests... a lot of work is in storage so it has to be pulled out for viewing. For ourselves, we were captured by a natural woodwork by Bernie Houston, "The Journey." Definitely worth spending a few hours exploring! Enjoy the visit... read more

called to find out what steps I needed to take to submit art and I was talked to very rudely. I feel like they think because they have been in business so long they can bully people or treat people poorly. I do not take kindly to bullies or people that use their long lasting in order to force people into submission. I posted a google review and received an angry text soon after. I would never do business here. Here is the text "Are you serious, you cold call a gallery that has been in business for 45 years and you never looked at our website which tells you about applying. No gallery will even talk to you until you do your homework. We receive 2000 artists applications a year. I never take rude artists the business is tough enough without rude artists to deal with. You are not doing yourself any favors by acting like you just did." Basically saying because I didn't like that she was rude I somehow have harmed my art career, shame on you read more

Very unique gallery and the owner Margery is extremely charming! Parking on street on Saturday is free. Highly recommend!

This gallery holds some of my favorite recurring themed exhibits: a neon show, Neon Invitational; humor (with caricatures); and abstract shows.Zenith has been around since the late 1970's so it is definitely one of the most established galleries in DC. This gallery hosts ten exhibits a year. The artists displayed run the gambit from local to national to international. The art that is exhibited is not only photos, paintings and sculpture but also furniture, jewelry and crafts. Most of the work is 3-D and mixed media. Zenith also offers a bunch of helpful services to the artist community at large: consulting, appraisals, and framing. It is also a great space that you can rent for an event or party. read more

Zenith is a Washington, D.C. landmark! It is not only one of the oldest independently owned commercial fine arts galleries in the region, boasting some of the best known and more established regional artists, but also one of the most eclectic! The owner, Margery Goldberg, herself quite a talented and respected artist, is a powerhouse of energy and resourcefulness! Visiting Zenith, which hosts openings, lectures, artists' talks, etc. on a regular basis, not only affords an opportunity to see their current show, but also you'll get a chance to explore the work of many other artists, as the gallery keeps an ample inventory. My highest possible recommendation! read more

This amazing Gallery has been serving up classic to unusual art and sculpture for more than 30 years. I have watched the growth of some DC artists from their initial presentations to the public at Zenith to their place now in the nations White House collection. There is always something spectacular to find in the myriad of forms and styles presented by the owner and curator Margery Goldberg. It's a great place to find gifts or explore beautiful objects, paintings & sculpture of which one will never tire. Arrive prepared to be awestruck. read more

Margery has a wonderful talent for searching out the best artists in the country. I trust her eye and her advice for expanding anyone's collection as well as my own! read more

Marjorie is a true patron of the arts. The gallery has such an eclectic feel to it. We have been there for several openings and one offsite opening. Truly a great time. The only problem is that we discuss buying something and by the time we make up our minds, it is sold. Her inventory turnover is phenomenal. We will keep coming until we get lucky or decisive. Stop in, look around, get on their mailing list. read more

Having been a customer of (and sometimes photographer/IT guy for) Zenith Gallery for the better part of 40 years, I (and my wife) have always enjoyed their shows due to the diversity and consistently high quality of the art displayed. As a vendor of sorts, I can attest to the high standards set by Zenith Gallery's owner, Margery Goldberg. She is always a decent and fair person (qualities that separate her and Zenith from most of the rest of the "art world") upon whose honesty anyone can depend. Having been an active member of DC's art community for so long, Margery and Zenith have exerted a continuous positive influence in the metropolitan area. In addition to Zenith Gallery's commercial endeavors, Margery has also founded a non-profit for the furtherance of the arts known as The Zenith Community Arts Foundation the website for which can be found at http://www.zcaf.org. In short, get on the Zenith Gallery mailing list, go to an opening and a show, and enjoy. I guarantee pleasant times. Joel Breger read more

Zenith Gallery is unique in the DC art world. It represents an extraordinary variety of talented artists - many internationally known , but also an array of emerging talent. The gallery owner, Margery Goldberg, has the best eye in the business. read more

We have bought several pieces of art from Margery - we love them all and they have each increased in value. Margery has a great eye for up and coming and under appreciated artists. Her gallery is chock full of interesting pieces. She has tactfully helped my husband and I navigate our radically different tastes, finding artists and works that appeal to us both. She has also assisted us with restoration referrals for old family pieces. I highly recommend Margery and her gallery, she is a pleasure to work with. read more

I love Zenith Gallery. It presents a wide selection of interesting art created by new and established artists working in a wide array of media. We have visited the gallery on numerous occasions for specific shows and just to go see what's new. It is worth the drive from Virginia. Margery Goldberg, the gallery owner, is a long time participant in the DC Art scene (and beyond) and is a great guide to what is presented in the gallery. We always learn something new. Regardless of whether you want a small private museum-like experience or are looking to buy, you will be treated the same--Margery loves to introduce people to art generally. No sales pressure here, just a love for art. You can't go wrong making the trip to see what is on display. read more
