Lottery opens Monday, September 29, at 10:00 a.m. and closes Thursday, October 2, at noon.

Fashion. Photography. Self-expression. You can find all three in this after-hours program celebrating our newest exhibition, Photography and the Black Arts Movement, 1955–1985. Wear your favorite outfit inspired by fashion from the ’50s through the ’80s. Dance to the sounds of go-go by DC's own Be'la Dona. Strike a pose in our photobooth. Experiment with photography while making art of your own. As a rare treat, we’ll open part of the West Building you can explore the exhibition in person.

This program series is made possible by a generous grant from The Morris and Gwendolyn Cafritz Foundation.

Programming is subject to change.
