Beautiful art gallery and fabulous event space. Sleek furniture, open, airy space and great lighting. I enjoyed the cabana in the back against the backdrop of a DC alleyway. Ha!
Their opening party was very swank... -

I attended a wedding/reception here not too long ago. I must say I was impressed with this buildings small exterior. It was modern, exposed and the art left on the walls was a nice touch to the decor.
I loved the location and how accesible it was. Plenty of parking right out front on a Saturday evening. I'm not sure about how other parties go, or openings go but this wedding was tame, classy and respectful of the surrounding neighborhoods.
To the reviewer that gave LV a one star rating, maybe you should speak with the business owner(s) and bring up your concerns with them. -

This gallery recently moved into DC, but has had a location in Sperryville (close to Inn at Little Washington) for a few years. Long View hosts contemporary artists of all media and genres. When I went to its opening back in October there was an exhibition by a painter and a ceramics artist.
The show going on right now is filled with really vibrant ink and pastel paintings. Try and hit the opening of one of the shows at Long View..the staff is friendly and it is a great space to see some original art.Listed in: Ready, Get Set...ART!

What a joke. I live in the neighborhood and have to endure the obnoxious, self-indulgent people that go to the parties held there.
During the majority of the evening of one of these "events" that seem to take place too often, the valets that park the cars are speeding around recklessly, they and others make illegal U-turns, and the people crossing the street in the middle of the block are a hazard. All of which causes traffic to stop in both directions on 9th Street. Need proof? I have the pictures and video.
Let's not even mention that they have one, single-person bathroom for each gender, and people go in to local business and disrupt paying customers in those establishments.
Their parties are a hazard. The gallery is a box - four walls and a roof - that the owners rent out to make money. Best I can tell they give nothing back to the community - local or otherwise.
I heard a few patrons of their party on Friday talk of being with DC's "social elite." Are you kidding me?
News flash:
If you were part of DC's social elite, you wouldn't be at a two-bit place on 9th St in NW.
Only God knows why the local police don't enforce the traffic laws when one of these parties is being held. Perhaps they are waiting for someone to get injured...or worse. -

I have a solo show opening at Long View Gallery this Saturday June 9th - I'd love for folks to come and check it out! Here are the details:
Long View Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of paintings entitled "I Call Shenanigans" by Dana Ellyn from June 9 - June 30, with an artist reception on Saturday, June 9, 2007, from 6 to 8 pm. In the gallery's upstairs annex, we will revisit select pieces from the past five years of her "31 Days In July" series in anticipation of this July's work.
Ellyn's work elicits conversation, tackling the subjects of religion, politics, family and other sensitive issues with sardonic humor and engaging honesty. Her work forces reaction rather than complacency - begging the viewer to think, to understand, to interpret, and then to discuss. Sometimes conversations become heated with reactions.

Review from Brian B.
Wow. I mean wow.
This art space is absolutely gourgeous, and that's before the art and installations go in. I was really blown away by this gallery. I went to Long View for the Acura MDX Launch Party, and the mixture of commercial art--the car--and art for the sake of art created a venue with an air of unpretentious sophistication that I'd yet to experience in the city.
I mean wow. Needless to say, I was really impressed with the quality of the artwork the gallery was able to procure. However, I'm going to reserve the fifth star of this review for a second opening, because I'll certainly be going back.
It goes without saying that I didn't leave the gallery until I signed onto their mailing list. -

I visited this gallery for the Jose Andres Catering "Food is Art" luncheon and I was pleased with everything. The venue was perfect for this type of event and I imagine it would be for any other type as well. There are two spacious, adjoining rooms, both naturally lit by floor-to-ceiling windows in the front and back. The patio looks out onto Blagden Alley, which apparently is a historic site. There was no decoration at the time, but at night with good lighting it would make a very nice lounge space. I loved the exposed brick walls and concrete floors, which weren't cold but actually added to the comfortable, warm ambience. I'm looking for an excuse to come back here asap!

Just visited on New Years. Fantastic BIG space, great for parties. It's urban-chic but also has fantastic gallery walls to show off artwork. They have a great lighting system and the space's concrete appeal helps it fit in with other growing projects in the area. A big surprise when you walk in from the street, but wonderful nonetheless!

Longview is like the antithesis of all the old stodgy places to have events in DC. I've been to a couple events here and it's a great change from the typical columns and granite (or hotel banquet room). The space is large and provides a lot of room to play with. The art has always been interesting and adds to the unique and contemporary tone of the space.

Really sweet gallery owners who find the most cutting edge artists and crafters. Opening parties are fun and they always have a spread of good food at the party. It's a good way to meet new people.
