There are many amazing art events happening in the Washington, DC area and attending artist talks is a great way to learn about contemporary artists and their art practices. DC ARTIST TALKS was started by artist Julia Kwon to share an up-to-date and comprehensive calendar of artist talks in the DC-Maryland-Virginia area. The project can be followed by checking the web calendar as well as receiving curated lists of artist talks through weekly/biweekly newsletters and social media posts. All featured events are free and open to the public.
