Art All Night Georgetown - Jazz, Art, Wine, Fun
Details
Organizers this year put Georgetown and Dupont on the same night, so after looking it over, I think Georgetown has more fun venues and activities. It's a hectic event with lots of people and venues, but it's all pretty close together and should be fun.
We'll start outside in front of the Georgetown Lutheran Church where a wonderful group called The Panachays will be performing French classics from 6-7.
Showcase sites on Wisconsin Avenue include: Shop Made in DC at 1304, L’Enfant Gallery at 1442, Cottage House Ethiopian Cuisine at 1529, Georgetown Lutheran Church at 1556, the Pit Stop Stage at the former TD Bank location on the corner of Q Street, Gallery 16Ten at 1610, Gallery Article 15 at 1624, Calloway Fine Art & Consulting at 1643, Addison/Ripley Fine Art and StudioLab RD at 1670 and Washington Printmakers Gallery at 1675.
Highlights Include:
Cottage House Ethiopian Cuisine will demonstrate an Ethiopian coffee ceremony on the hour from 6 to 10 p.m. A three-piece Ethiopian band will play in the back garden from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. and saxophonist and vocalist Rediet Hailu will lead an “ethio-jazz” program upstairs in the lounge.
Gallery 16Ten will celebrate the opening of Book Hill Gallery, which will display “In Bloom” by Sam Juan. On view upstairs, at Gallery 16Ten, is “The Prodigious Metamorphosis” by Naurya Pelletier-Bacquaert.
Gallery Article 15 is presenting a solo exhibition by Congolese artist JP Kiangu, with live Congolese music by Nkumu Katalay and his band from 5:30 to 9 p.m.
1223 Potomac Gallery will host an artist talk at 7 p.m. and a live performance at 9 p.m. The artists represented in “Foot on Nex: Applying Pressure Through Collective Unity” are Artifacts, Brandon Carlton, Teia A. Lettsome, Bam Byrd and Janet Fries.
At O Street Collection, Georgetown’s newest gallery, visitors can meet the artists, including watercolor artist and gallery owner Rita Ting-Hopper, from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m., and take home a print from a mini print vending machine featuring original artwork highlighting Georgetown’s small businesses.
Klagsbrun Studios is showing “Writ on Water,” selected and new work by Micheline Klagsbrun, who will be in her second-floor studio. The show features new resin-based sculptures similar to the work she is currently exhibiting in Venice at the Biennale.
