Curious about how Fathom Gallery came to be? It all started with our flagship location on 14th Street in the heart of Logan Circle. The historic building, which was originally an automobile brakes shop in the early-mid 1900s, underwent a total renovation in 2006 by proprietors Bill Fischer and Drew Mitchell. Bill and Drew totally transformed the space while still maintaining the historic charm and authentic character of the building. Debuting with a fresher, more modern look under the Fathom Gallery name, the space was used to host business meetings for Fathom Creative (our affiliated design team), and occasional art exhibits to promote local artists in the community. After receiving glowing feedback and growing interest in renting the space, Drew and Bill saw Fathom’s full potential and boom, the rest is history. Fathom Gallery 14th Street started its new venture as a gallery specializing in private events, and since then has hosted thousands of clients over the years. With consistently booked event seasons, the Fathom Gallery team made the decision to expand in 2022 and officially opened its second location on Wisconsin Ave in Georgetown. Emily Magee and Meg Haverinen (whom have been friends since 3rd grade – fun fact!) oversee the events at both spaces, with the help of our part-time staff and vendor partners.
Meet the faces that make up the Fathom Gallery team:
Emily began working for Fathom Gallery back in 2013 as an intern, and now manages both the 14th Street and Georgetown Fathom Gallery locations. Having overseen hundreds of weddings, birthday parties, corporate receptions (the list goes on!), Emily knows exactly how to ensure the perfect event for our clients. Her go-getter personality and attention to detail are perfect for the events industry and invaluable to the Fathom Gallery team.
Graduate of: Saint Michael’s College, VT
How she spends her days off: Golfing, hitting up the tennis courts, shopping, and chasing around her adorable (and rambunctious!) nieces
Favorite travel destinations: Austria, Switzerland, Italy, or anywhere else that you can see the Alps!
How she’d describe herself in 3 words: Hardworking, supportive, organized
Favorite thing about working in the events industry: Seeing how each client uses our venue as a blank canvas and transforms it based on their unique vision! Watching the space come to life and then seeing our clients have a great time with their guests is the absolute best!
When Emily needed some extra assistance as the Fathom Gallery business continued to grow, Meg ditched the corporate world for the events world and never looked back! From the initial site visit up until day-of support, Meg’s goal is to make sure each client has a seamless experience with planning their event at Fathom Gallery and a fabulous time on day-of.
Graduate of: Providence College, RI
How she spends her days off: Long walks around the city, checking out new cocktail bars, unwinding with a bad reality TV show, or *trying* to improve her golf game
Favorite travel destinations: Cape Cod, MA, Charleston, SC, or Italy (specifically Tuscany for all of the wine and pasta)
How she’d describe herself in 3 words: Empathetic, genuine, and funny
Favorite thing about working in the events industry: Building relationships with our clients while working with them leading up to their event! I also love going through the wedding galleries we receive from our photographers and getting to see every special moment from the big day!
The Fathom Gallery team also consists of day-of support coordinators, event interns, designers, and a crew of contractors that help with all of the odds and ends to make our venues flourish. Aside from Meg and Emily, there’s always a full team behind the scenes making the event magic happen!
Thanks for stopping by, and we look forward to hosting a wonderful event with you!
Cheers!
