RSS FeedSomething Fun For The Weekend, Outside Of Gallery Place *Updated*
Updated with a couple of pictures from the weekend. The first picture is courtesy of Tracy‘s flickr account and the 2nd from GPLiving.
Ok, so this does not have to do with Gallery Place – but it is a unique, free event this weekend that readers may want to check out in Dupont Circle. The Phillips Collection (21st and Q St NW) will be hosting a free opening weekend which can be summed up as a Parisian-style block party. Here is the official flyer.
Festivities include:
- Chalk artist and street performers create a Parisian-style boulevard atmosphere outside the museum
- Mingle with the famous characters of Renoir’s Luncheon of the Boating Party
- French cabaret performance and sing-along
- Tableau vivant or “Living picture” of Luncheon of the Boating Party by area students
- Screening of Jean Renoir’s film “A Day in the Country” paying homage to his father’s masterpiece
- Opening of the Young Artists Exhibition Program
- Create your own Boating Party hat—fun for all ages!
- Gallery talks on The Renoir Returns
- Free Luncheon of the Boating Party poster
