WASHINGTON, DC
Creating connection through art in the heart of Georgetown.
Now Open
1037 33rd St. NW, Washington DC
Wed - Sat, 11am - 5pm.
WELCOME TO
At the heart of every piece of art are connections waiting to occur. The internal and external dialogues that develop before, during, and after an artist is at work. The curiosity and emotions that emerge when something challenges, moves or inspires. The conversations that unfold when embarking upon a path of discovery, exploring hidden passions, unearthing one’s truth.
Contemporary, abstract artist Robin Davisson wants to cultivate, encourage and examine these connections by opening her studio to the public and offering an unfiltered, behind-the-scenes look at the art-making process.
Visitors to Davisson’s sun-filled, Georgetown studio are invited upstairs to watch her at work —from testing ideas in her sketchbook and prepping canvases to mixing and applying paints and discerning the final touches on completed pieces.
The studio’s street-level houses a cozy lounge area where visitors can browse available art, flip through her library of art books, enjoy a cup of coffee, kick their feet up, or all of the above!
LEARN MORE ABOUT ROBIN’S ARTISTIC JOURNEY.
Forget the hushed, “don’t touch” mentality of many other art-centric spaces.
At StudioLab RD, there will always be music playing, coffee brewing, and creative energy flowing, which Davisson hopes will inspire guests to jump in and join her on her artistic journey or embark on one of their own.
You don’t have to think of yourself as an artist to visit or enjoy StudioLab!
In fact, Davisson is hopeful that those who don’t consider themselves creative (a frequent fallacy!) will discover their buried artistic spark inside her studio. With salons, a creator-in-residence program and other offerings in the works, the goal of StudioLab is not only to create community for local artists and creatives, but to also introduce a wider community to the art world at large.
Your questions are welcome!
Davisson will be accessible and available during open studio hours and is excited to chat with visitors and exchange ideas. Her intention is to explore the creative process together.
“I am actively learning as I go along, and I invite people to come and learn with me, to be part of my art experiments,” she says. “But, just a warning: it’s not always going to be pretty! In fact, I can almost guarantee it’s going to get messy in here. But that’s all part of the joy.”
