All art exhibits must be approved by the Ernst Gallery Exhibition Committee. For more information about exhibitions, kindly call Kevin Sheehan at 703-323-3805. After receiving approval, the art exhibit is booked with the Cultural Center.

The gallery hours are Monday - Friday: 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. The gallery, which is otherwise locked, also serves as the theater lobby, and thus is open without supervision during theater performances.

There is limited storage space for the gallery; therefore all work must be removed from the gallery promptly at the end of each exhibition. Artwork designed to be exhibited on the wall must be capable of being hung from a hanging rail. Nothing may be affixed directly to, on, or through the wall. The exhibitor, if needed, must furnish pedestals and plinths for three-dimensional work.
