WASHINGTON, D.C. — July 20, 2026
Washingtonians still have time to experience one of the District’s most innovative public art exhibitions before it concludes next month.
Presented by Hamiltonian Artists in partnership with The Nicholson Project, I’ll meet you there is a citywide public art exhibition that reimagines how and where people encounter contemporary art. Rather than being confined to a traditional gallery, the exhibition unfolds across Washington through storefront video installations, outdoor murals, and a traveling 20-foot video billboard that brings artwork directly into neighborhoods throughout the city.
Featuring the work of Washington-area artists Stephanie J. Williams, Jermaine “jET” Carter, Edgar Reyes, and A.J. McClenon, the exhibition explores themes of identity, memory, belonging, and place. Through moving images and public installations, each artist invites viewers to reflect on the communities they call home and the everyday spaces that shape their experiences.
One of the exhibition’s most distinctive features is its mobile video gallery, which travels throughout the District, creating opportunities for residents to encounter contemporary art in parks, commercial corridors, and neighborhood gathering spaces. By taking art directly into the community, the project expands access to the arts while encouraging meaningful connections between artists and the public.
On view through August 15, 2026, I’ll meet you there also includes public screenings, artist talks, and community events hosted at locations across Washington. The exhibition reflects a growing movement among local arts organizations to make creative experiences more accessible by activating public spaces throughout the city.
As summer continues, the exhibition offers residents and visitors an opportunity to explore Washington through a different lens—one where streets, storefronts, and neighborhoods become places for artistic expression and cultural dialogue.
Public art has long played an important role in shaping the District’s cultural identity, and I’ll meet you there demonstrates how contemporary artists continue to transform everyday spaces into opportunities for conversation, reflection, and community engagement.
