Grace Marie DeWitt (she/they) is an interdisciplinary artist and arts coordinator in the D.C.-area. Integrating installation, drawing, photography, video, and printmaking to consider the emotional potency of materials, DeWitt's work has been exhibited, collected, and awarded nationally and internationally.

 

DeWitt has been fortunate to curate in-person and online exhibitions. She has supported exhibitions at the Baltimore Office of Promotion & the Arts; Maryland Art Place; and Pyramid Atlantic Art Center, where she also organized communication and membership engagement. She served on the acquisition committee for the University of Maryland's permanent contemporary art collection and managed the University's experimental contemporary art gallery.

 

DeWitt works out of her studio in Brentwood, MD. Outside of her practice, she coordinates national and international programming for the National Museum of Women in the Arts, where she supports the museum's Women to Watch exhibition series. She also coordinates exhibitions with Francisco Rosario at THE PALLET RACK, an experimental 24-sq. ft. exhibition space inside Material Things Studio in North Brentwood, MD.
