On the first Friday in October, Hillyer invites the public to see three exhibitions: The Kids are Talking by Sarah Reagan, The Animal Within the Animal by Ana Maria Farina and Hanna Washburn, and Fem-utility Closet by Melissa Dorn. We invite you to take this opportunity to meet the artists in person and mingle with friends and colleagues. Hillyer’s “First Friday” openings coincide with Dupont Circle BID’s monthly Art Walk.

You can enhance your experience by becoming a member. Each month, members are invited to an exclusive preview of the exhibitions, which include champagne and special treats from 5 – 6 p.m. Be among the first to meet our talented creators and connect with other fellow art enthusiasts before the doors open to the public at 6 p.m.
