Zenith Gallery:
Zenith has established deep roots in the nation’s capital and with artists and collectors across America.  Throughout our history, we’ve pushed boundaries and broken ground with an ever-changing selection of paintings, sculpture, neon, photographs, tapestries and mixed-media pieces that stimulate, engage and have profoundly enhanced our clients’ residential, corporate and public-space environments. Long at the forefront of the Washington arts scene, we seek out and feature exceptional artists at varying stages of their careers.   Many have been with us for 30 years and are now well-known and established, while others are young bright lights on the horizon.  We help our clients articulate their needs based on budget, aesthetic preferences, and space ramifications of all sizes.  Our main goal is to provide a service that works with the client to find art that fits the look and image they would like to convey.
