DC Inspired: Gallery 555dc

Local lifestyle blogger Meg of Mimi + Meg brings her “Art Inspired” column to Open House.

“Departures & Arrivals” by Daniel Calder, available at Gallery 555dc.

The perfect piece of art can be the item you design an entire room around. “Departures & Arrivals,” a large-scale abstract
painting by Glen Allen, Virginia-based conceptual artist
Daniel Calder, would make a statement in any
space. The name alone seems fitting for many DC residents, as this is a
city full of people
frequently jetting off and coming in from all over the world.
Inspired by Calder’s piece, which is currently available at
Gallery 555dc, here are five
decor elements that would make for a cozy reading nook with a
pop of color.
