10/14/25

Location: Chela Mitchell Gallery - Union Market District, Washington, D.C.

Friday, April 18, 2025 - As Spring slowly continued to bloom, we made our first visit of the year to our favorite gallery in the District, Chela Mitchell Gallery. Owned and operated by our framily, One of D.C.’s own, Chela Mitchell — she has created a space to showcase Black Art, while making a special point to represent her roots and artist from her hometown.  This year she was included in Cultured Mag’s inaugural Young Dealer’s List, that includes gallerist and dealers worldwide. If you are a serious connoisseur, looking to add to your collection, she is the one to talk to.

This afternoon she was introducing us to Eric Louis January and Bradley Ward.
