We are thrilled to welcome acclaimed pianist, programmer, and educator Jenny Lin as the next director of the Phillips Music program! “I am deeply honored to assume the leadership of such a revered music program and to help spread the joy of music to audiences of all ages and backgrounds. This institution has long been a beacon of artistic excellence, and I look forward to creating innovative musical programs that resonate with the museum’s rich heritage and vision. I can’t wait to welcome fellow artists and guests, returning and new to the Music Room, for captivating performances that explore the museum’s renowned permanent collection and special exhibitions through musical response,” says Lin.

About us
Encounter superb works of modern and contemporary art at The Phillips Collection, an internationally recognized museum in Washington's vibrant Dupont Circle neighborhood. Paintings by Renoir and Rothko, Bonnard and O'Keeffe, van Gogh and Diebenkorn are among the many stunning impressionist and modern works that fill the museum's distinctive building, which combines extensive new galleries with the family home of its founder, Duncan Phillips. The collection continues to develop with selective new acquisitions, many by contemporary artists. Special exhibitions and frequent changes in the arrangement of the permanent collection mean that there's something new on every visit to the Phillips. The museum's Center for the Study of Modern Art offers stimulating Conversations with Artists, symposia, lectures, and more, while Sunday Concerts, Phillips after 5 programs, and other events provide additional food for thought. The museum also produces a vigorous, award-winning program of educational outreach that serves more than 6,000 students and teachers a year and indirectly reaches many tens of thousands more. The Phillips Collection opened to the public in 1921 and is America's first museum of modern art. It is a private institution that is not a part of the federal government. It relies for support on admission and program fees, endowment income, and generous assistance from individual donors, corporations, foundations, and others.

We are thrilled to share that Camille Brown, The Phillips Collection Associate Curator, has received a Teiger Foundation grant to support our 2025 exhibition Essex Hemphill: Take care of your blessings. This special exhibition charts the relationship between the writings of poet and activist Essex Hemphill and contemporary visual art. Born in Chicago and raised in Washington, DC, Hemphill emerged as a luminary in the DC arts scene of the 80s and 90s. While Hemphill died of AIDS-related illness at just 38, his work persists, reflected in visual dialogues with his contemporaries and inheritors. Congrats to all of the 2024 #TeigerFoundation grantees! 📸 Camille Brown. Photo: Daniel Graindorge.
