Lost Origins Gallery

Lost Origins is a privately-owned arts and culture space located on historic Mount Pleasant Street in Washington D.C. Founded by Jason Hamacher, DC musician, photographer and documentarian, Lost Origins grew out of Hamacher’s extensive experience in the arts, culture, and diplomatic communities through his company, Lost Origin Productions.^[1]

History and Conceptualisation

Lost Origins strives to be inviting, engaging and intimate. They host exhibitions, events, and screenings by local, national and international artists, comedians, filmmakers, musicians and authors. Lost Origins believes that each exhibit and event is a collaborative effort, and are strengthened by the support of their staff, neighbours, and friends. ^[1]

Lost Origins works with and for the artists to conceive and execute their vision. Their work starts from the moment an artist wishes to do a show, and continues all the way up to the closing of their show. Lost Origins takes care of curation, production, set up, event planning, and also selling any merchandise.

Lost Origins Outside

Lost Origins Outdoors is an outdoor exhibition space that came about as result of people being unable to gather in closed places during the pandemic. Located in an alleyway just a couple of blocks down from the indoor gallery, between the Restaurant Elle and Samber Market, the outdoor space makes art more accessible to people by taking it outside the four walls of a gallery and placing it in a space with everyday foot traffic. Some people specifically seek out the art, and some stumble upon it on their way elsewhere, regardless of the viewers intent, the art in Lost Origins outdoors gets as much attention, if not more, as the art in a formal gallery space. The red-brick alley walls provide a light, casual, yet intimate viewing experience.

The art is usually weatherproofed by printing it on metal sheets in UV ink and is mounted using methods that do not damage the heritage buildings.
