The I Street Galleries at 200 I Street, SE, is likely little known.  It occupies the south side of the first floor of the DC Government Building that houses both the Office of the Chief Technology Office and the Child and Family Services. 

Currently, the space features the DC Art Now 2023 exhibit – the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities annual exhibition of selected work by finalists for the FY 24 Art Bank Program Grant.  Here is a selection of the pieces.
