Community Engagement Space

Launching with a day of service on Jan. 17, 2026—the Saturday of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day weekend—the National Gallery of Art will host a community engagement space dedicated to exploring the intersection of art and civic engagement. Located in the former Art Information Room adjacent to the West Building Rotunda, this reimagined space will host drop-in art making facilitated by partner artists and community groups, guest talks and community meetings. All visitors are welcome to create art and reflect during general operating hours.
