What we’re about
Come into the ArtHouse ! Meet with local film and arts lovers to watch indie, foreign and classic films! We'll also attend art gallery openings, theater performances, Embassy evenings, museums, author readings and interesting concerts. And more often than not, there will be a reception! The idea will be 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 the Goethe Institute, AFI Silver Theater and Landmark Theaters. 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 shows.
Please be sure to read the group's attendance policy on the message board or "About Us" section. Also, note that the Art House meetup is a group for ACTIVE members fully engaged and interested in attending outings. Inactive members who have not logged into the site for 6 months or more are automatically removed to ensure the integrity of the group.
Members are asked to donate $1 per meetup they attend to help cover the Meetup.com fees ($72 per 6 months). You can make this 'suggested donation' online via Paypal or in person to your organizer. Your contribution is much appreciated!

See all- Interesting Film - 'Bridgeplayers' - on House of Sweden Roof; Ticket RequiredHouse of Sweden, Washington, DC
The Embassy of Sweden is excited to offer a selection of Swedish rooftop film screenings this summer that celebrate the rich cultural heritage and cinematic excellence of Sweden.
The next screening presents The Bridgeplayers (2025), a film about four women who survived Auschwitz as teenagers.
Purchase a $5 ticket here.
Filmmakers Alberto Herskovits and Bengt Bok document four bridge-playing women and Auschwitz survivors as they witness a dramatically changing world in this unconventional film about the Holocaust. Despite their traumas and haunting memories, the four women have lived to nearly one hundred and are now among the few remaining to bear witness to the Holocaust. They live in Stockholm, have been friends for decades, and share a deep passion for playing bridge. Life proceeds as usual, but suddenly everything changes with the Hamas terror attack and the situation in Gaza. A unique film about the Holocaust and the art of survival.
