Hillyer celebrates an Anniversary

Hillyer celebrates its 3rd anniversary since reopening in November 2021 after being closed for two years. Since then, it has reestablished its role as the epicenter of contemporary art in DC and beyond. Hillyer reopened with “She Says, Her Story: Six Women Artists from Taiwan,” an important exhibition considering the current political climate. Check out our previous post about the exhibition.
