Capital Hilton Introduces La Galerie on K
In an exciting move to enhance the cultural fabric of Washington, D.C., the Capital Hilton has unveiled a new lobby art exhibition space titled
La Galerie on K. This innovative gallery serves as a platform for local and emerging artists to showcase their work. Located just steps away from the iconic White House, La Galerie on K aims to foster a sense of community and creativity, reflecting the vibrancy of the nation's capital.
The inaugural exhibition features the artworks of
Karen Renae, whose abstract and impressionistic pieces are designed to evoke emotion and offer a unique perspective on perception. Renae’s work will be showcased until mid-summer, with future exhibits planned to feature other talented local artists throughout the upcoming year. Notably, all pieces displayed will be available for purchase, enabling art enthusiasts to support local talent directly.
“
Our lobby has long been a space for connection and conversation,” stated Paolo Pedrazzini, the general manager of Capital Hilton. “
With this new exhibition space, we are thrilled to provide a platform for the city’s emerging artists, allowing our guests to engage with authentic local creativity.”
