DC Metro Crafts 3rd July meetup @ National Portrait Gallery

A couple of craft groups meet at the National Portrait Gallery in the Kogod Courtyard, so I thought we'd give it a try to fill out the extra week in July between our mid-month and first Thursday meetups. There is also a cafe we can get snacks and beverages from so it could be a fun adventure!

I scoped it out around 2:45pm on Sunday the 20th and the Courtyard was mildly busy. There were many 2-person tables, a few 6-person, and a lot of backless marble benches. However, I can't imagine it will be busier than that time by 4:30pm when I scheduled the meetup so we should have no problem getting actual chairs and tables. The other groups said they just pull the little 4-person tables together and call it a day.

Plus, if the courtyard is full, a woman at the information desk said we could use the Luce Foundation Center on the third floor, and it was completely empty when I checked on it.

To find us: After you enter the courtyard from F street, the 6-person tables are on the righthand side. We'll be situated somewhere near those if we can't sit at them. If we need to move up to the LFC, I'll leave a message on the board for the event with more details about how to find us there.
