My Ly was the first artist to exhibit work at the K Street Virtual Gallery. Ly’s installation, which was on display from April through November 2023, captured the vibe and energy of NoMa by focusing on how people move through the neighborhood. Ly is the founder and creative director behind My Ly Design, a local, woman-owned, minority-owned CBE practice in DC focused on architecture, interiors, urban design, and public arts.

Nekisha Durrett’s exhibit, “Centuries” was illuminated in the K Street Virtual Gallery from November 2023 – December 2024. “Centuries” celebrated the contributions of Black women to the sport of cycling. Durrett drew her inspiration from the story of five Black women who in 1928, over the course of three days, cycled over 250 miles (two and a half centuries in cycling terms) from New York City to Washington, DC. They traversed hilly, rough, and dangerous roads through cold and stormy weather, but riding during the Jim Crow era presented an additional, more existential threat as they trekked through sundown towns under hostile surveillance.  

STUPENDOUS: The Uline Ice Arena, is a dynamic digital light projection launched in December 2024 and created by DMV multimedia artist Jackie Hoysted. STUPENDOUS celebrates the rich entertainment history of the Uline Arena. Through vivid, stylized depictions of events such as basketball, rodeos, circuses, concerts, synchronized swimming and more, Hoysted reimagines the variety of activities once held in the iconic space. Hoysted succeeds in capturing the magic and energy of this historic venue where the Beatles performed their first U.S. concert in 1964.
