MEMBERS ONLY EXPERIENCES
The Arts Club of Washington has long held a distinctive profile in Washington, D.C., nationally and internationally. Founded in 1916 by a group of prominent local artists and modeled on New York’s National Arts Club and the Chelsea Arts Club in London, The Arts Club of Washington was the very first in the city to have women in leadership roles and as members from its start.
Its arts-focused, innovative, and bohemian character draws free-thinkers from around the capital region and across the globe from its historic home, the center of which is an historic Federal-era mansion that once served as the residence of President James Monroe—and for a time, his official presidential residence.
The creative, warm and welcoming spirit of the organization endures as part of an ever-evolving and important legacy. We welcome those who engage in the arts (both professionally and for the love of it), or simply celebrate the many forms of artistic expression that the organization presents, to consider the many benefits of membership and to join us as a unique part of our nation’s history.
