Artists come from the District of Columbia, Virginia and Maryland area. All artists are welcome. To learn more about an artist, please visit his/her/their space.

Each artist will post her/her/their policy on taking pictures. Some artists do not mind having the public take pictures, but other artists have proprietary licenses on their work. You will find instructions on taking and sharing pictures near each artist’s exhibit.

We rely on volunteers so please make sure to go to our Get Involved section. We would love to have you assist us in our activities!

We work on events on a case-by-case basis, e.g., when we get a building/space and have the infrastructure to support an event.

Everyone is welcome to visit Artomatic. However, because this is an unjuried event and all exhibits are accepted, please be aware that nudity, and/or colorful language and images may be found throughout the exhibits and floors. Remember when it comes to art, anything goes. Please check out what unjuried means for more information and view our calendar of events for children.
