The Artist Agency

The Artist Agency is a talent agency in Washington, DC, representing models, actors, stylists, hair and makeup artists, wardrobe stylists, and bridal talent for fashion, beauty, film, and commercial work. Founded in 1985 as an agency for stylists, it grew into a full-service agency for models and later added actors after acquiring Central Casting in 2021.

The agency is female-founded and operated, with booking handled by a small team of bookers and casting directors. Booking inquiries go to the individual booker by email, and the office keeps weekday business hours in Eastern time. The agency sits on Potomac Street in Northwest Washington and notes that it does not scout overseas and asks people to verify any unexpected approach by contacting the office directly.
