Touchstone Gallery
Touchstone Gallery has been an artist-owned gallery since 1976.
This 3000-plus square-foot location is based in the center of the art scene

The gallery maintains an active membership of 30 to 35 artists. This number provides a diversity of artistic expression and personalities, yet allows ample exhibition space for each artist.

All Touchstone artists exhibit at least one piece at all times in our Members' Gallery. This member group show is changed every other month. Full members are entitled to a solo show during their second year of active membership and every other year thereafter. These shows are exhibited in the main gallery, approximately 8 months out of each year. Two solo shows are presented simultaneously during these months. During the remaining months the gallery hosts juried shows, special exhibits and two member group shows in the main gallery.

Gallery Hours:
Wednesday - Friday 11 am - 5 pm
Saturday - Sunday 12 - 5 pm

406 7th Street NW 2nd Floor
Washington, DC 20004
Phone: 202.347.2787

Faces Forward
Charles St. Charles
October 8 - November 8
Monotype Prints
Particularly striking series of mask-like wise men on black paper, stunningly floated again

Mainly Monotypes:
Prints by Mary D. Ott

These colorful and expressive monotypes are part of Ott's series of more than 40 original prints titled "Bouquets of Grasses."

Etchings and Drawings by Stanislav Nikireyev
(1932 – 2007)

Etchings and drawings are a magic symphony of black and white, an infinite variety of tones. Indefatigable globe-trotter, the master is endowed with the gift of a deep perception of alien cultures.

Legacy
Paintings by Richard Copaken

Multi-layered abstract works are alive with light and suffused with bright color reflecting the joy Copaken finds in every aspect of life.

These Dreams of You
Gary Honig

In many ways Honig has been watching his surroundings at a crossroads, which provides an influential foundation. Personal, business, world events, global stress impinges on the creative process of an artist



Fast Forward, Charles St Charles
In Afghanistan
Hans Stakelbeek
September 10 – October 4
The Embassies of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and Afghanistan have partnered to bring “In Afghanistan” to the United States. Award-winning Dutch photographer Hans Stakelbeek spent time in Afghanistan documenting daily life.

Motocycle
Green
Touchstone Gallery Members
September 10 - October 4
Thee ideas that greenness suggests - money, grapes, eco-consciousness, trees, water, mint juleps, little green apples, Christmas trees, etc. etc. etc.
Touchstone artists were asked to interpret this theme freely and broadly. GREEN was to be approached literally or conceptually, and our artists’ responses encompass green as a color, as a movement, as a state of being, as a symbol of life.
Artists participating:
Steve Alderton, Charles St. Charles, Michele Cormier, Marcia Coppel, Tory Cowles, Mari DeMaris, Betsy Forster, Carolyn Johnson, Harvey J. Kupferberg, Rosemary A. Luckett, Michael Lang, Paula Lantz, Teresa Roberts Logan, Aina Nergaard-Nammack, Nancy Novick, Mary D. Ott, Mary Trent-Scott, Janathal Shaw, Harriet Rosenbaum, Rima Schulkind, Mary Trent-Scott, Dina Volkova, Jon Wassom, Janet Wheeler, Melissa Widerkehr and Cynthia Young.

Meeting in the Green Cafe, Marcia Coppel

Annex A at Touchstone Gallery
The Artist’s Book
Touchstone Gallery Members
Touchstone artists took up the challenge to construct diverse art books or to photograph noteworthy books.

Annex B at Touchstone Gallery
Human Beings and Butterfly Wings
Adrian Amiro
Each painting develops with bursts of magic. Amiro starts a painting by deciding what mood and color she feels, the emotion she wants to express, and depicts these ideas with glittering swirls.

Annex C at Touchstone Gallery
Held Within the Ice
Mila Kagan
Mila Kagan began her work with glass and with porcelain to capture the essence of white and to investigate layering, penetration of forms, lightness and opacity, motion and stasis, brittleness and flexibility.
