WASHINGTON, May 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- This summer, Capital Hilton invites guests to experience a vibrant lineup of art, culture, and immersive programming designed to celebrate the spirit of Washington, DC.
"Art, culture, and immersive experiences are central to the Capital Hilton experience, making the hotel a welcoming destination for both visitors and the local community," said Paolo Pedrazzini, general manager, Capital Hilton.

Art in La Galerie on K
Currently on display, La Galerie on K features a compelling collection of paintings and painted ceramic pieces by Deaf artist Ko Nam, presented in partnership with Gallaudet University's Office of Arts, Culture, and Experience. Nam's work expresses his perspective through vibrant landscapes and scenic works. His style is free, passionate, and optimistic, creating a vivid "sound world" shaped by silence.
