Multiple Exposures Gallery

Alexandria - 105 N. Union Street - Torpedo Factory Art Center #312 - VA 22314

Established in 1985, Multiple Exposures Gallery stands as a cornerstone of fine art photography in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. As the region’s longest continuously operating photography gallery, it has cultivated a strong legacy of artistic excellence and community engagement. Located within the historic Torpedo Factory Art Center in Alexandria, Virginia, the gallery provides a dynamic space where photography is not only exhibited, but also discussed, interpreted, and appreciated.

Multiple Exposures Gallery is artist-run and represents a collective of accomplished photographers working across a variety of styles and techniques, from traditional black-and-white printing to experimental and digital processes. This diversity in artistic vision makes each exhibition a fresh and engaging experience, offering new perspectives on both the art of photography and the world it captures.

The gallery maintains an active schedule of rotating exhibitions throughout the year, frequently curated in collaboration with esteemed jurors and curators from across the country. These exhibitions provide both emerging and established photographers the opportunity to showcase their work in a professional setting, while also introducing audiences to innovative approaches in contemporary photography.

In addition to its exhibitions, Multiple Exposures Gallery is dedicated to helping a wide range of collectors—from first-time buyers to seasoned art consultants—discover and acquire fine art photography. Visitors can expect thoughtful guidance and personal service from the gallery’s members, each of whom brings their own artistic and technical expertise to the experience.

With its longstanding commitment to promoting the photographic arts and supporting artists in their creative growth, Multiple Exposures Gallery remains a vital cultural space for both the local community and visitors from beyond the region. Through its exhibitions and outreach, the gallery continues to champion photography as a powerful form of visual expression and storytelling.

All About Photo Presents 'Rural Life in the Hudson Valley' by Susan Anthony

The photographs in this exhibition are part of a project about rural life in the Hudson Valley. For the past five years, I have been taking photographs of individuals and families in upstate New York. Having spent many years as a weekender and homeowner, most of the people I knew were other New Yorkers, and I never had the chance to meet people who grew up in this rural area. During the pandemic, I spent many hours outside with my camera, walking along the road and photographing local residents. Eventually, I decided to create a project about the people I met. Now, as some of these individuals have become friends, I continue to meet others whose families have lived in this area for many generations.

All About Photo Presents 'The Witching Hour' by Anastasia Sierra

I become a mother and stop sleeping through the night. Years go by, the child sleeps soundly in his bed but I still wake at every noise. My father comes to live with us and all of a sudden I am a mother to everyone. As I drift off to sleep I can no longer tell my dreams from reality. In one nightmare my father tells me he’s only got two weeks left to live, in another I am late to pick up my son from school and never see him again. I am afraid of monsters, but instead of running, I move towards them: we circle each other until I realize that they are just as afraid of me as I am of them.
