THE SILVA GALLERY x LATELA CURATORIAL

Platforming Washington DC Region Artists

After four years directing The Silva Gallery, Latela Curatorial is passing the baton to The Art Island, which has served as a long-established connector of artists and art collectors in the Washington, DC area via art exhibitions and community projects.

As we look back over the past 10 years, curating over 70 exhibitions in Washington DC, we are proud of our diligent work + impact: LC has played a vital role as an on-the-ground incubator in the Washington DC art scene.

In 2021, Latela Curatorial partnered with The Silva to source the building’s permanent art collection (all of which are by Washington, DC area artists) as well as the opening and direction of The Silva Gallery. LC has curated fourteen exhibitions at The Silva Gallery, which include solo exhibitions for renowned Washington, DC artists: Rania Hassan, Rose Jaffe, Anne Hanger, Julia Chon, Nicole Salimbene, Jeremy Flick, Joseph Shetler, Charles Jean-Pierre, Andrea Limauro, Sami Miranda, and Anne Marchand.

Why center on Washington DC region artists?

DC, Maryland, and Virginia artists are working in a deeply engaged local art world that is at the red-hot center of the United States’ political landscape, and yet their voices are largely ignored by the international art world and media.
