About us
Come into ***The ArtHouse ***! Meet with fellow local arts lovers to watch indie films and cool theater, and attend art gallery openings, embassy concerts, museum events and author readings. And more often than not, there will be a reception! The idea is to keep the price down and participation and conversation up!
We'll go wherever art house films are screened in town--museums, cultural institutions, embassies, local film festivals, as well as arthouse film meccas like AFI, the Avalon and Cinema Arts. We'll attend galleries you may not know and museums on special days. We're also connected to the theater world so we'll be seeing some of those specially discounted shows.
Members are asked to donate $1 per meetup they attend to help cover the Meetup.com fees which have gone steadily up. You can make this 'suggested donation' online via Paypal or in person to your organizer. Your contribution is much appreciated!

The Washington Film Institute, in cooperation with the Embassy of Latvia to the USA, invites you to a special screening of Blizzard of Soulsโthe acclaimed Latvian World War I epic and the highest-grossing film in Latvian box-office history.
Based on true events and a novel once banned by the Soviets, this powerful film follows a young Latvian soldier confronting the brutal realities of war as Latvia struggles toward independence. A moving story of courage, loss, identity, and the birth of a nation.
Join us for an evening of Latvian cinema and cultural exchange in Washington, DC.

Celebrate the holidays with the Broadway sensation Cult of Love! In this gripping, music-filled play, four adult siblings (and their partners) return home for Christmas Eve, carrying secrets, resentments, and competing ideas of what family demands. As the singing and celebration give way to confrontation, old wounds reopen and new revelations emerge. Leslye Headlandโs โstormy, compassionate, [and] cuttingly observantโ (TimeOut NY) play interrogates the complexity of family loyalty, the power of religion, and what it truly means to love one another.
