Their opening nights draw large, diverse crowds and help contribute to the lively Logan Circle scene. And though it's not in DC, Fraser Gallery in Bethesda is a favorite because owner Catriona takes chances on exhibitions that are more provocative than you'd usually find in the 'burbs. She also occasionally features young artists. On the museum-y side, the Freer-Sackler Galleries are beautiful spaces with broad collections of Asian, Islamic and American art. Since they're a little off the beaten path, (behind the Smithsonian Castle) they offer a more peaceful museum experience.
