What is the Window Project?
De Novo Gallery’s Window Project initiative transforms underutilized storefronts throughout Washington, D.C., into curated exhibition spaces, displaying all available works in the window. This initiative brings art beyond traditional gallery walls, creating unexpected encounters with contemporary art throughout the city and seamlessly integrating it into everyday environments. The Window Project extends De Novo Gallery’s mission to foster meaningful connections between artists and diverse audiences. We actively collaborate with artists, property owners, developers, and businesses to celebrate art’s power to inspire, engage, and transform communities.
