Spend Saturday, October 14 at the annual DC History Center community day, On the Square! Located on Mount Vernon Square—where multiple neighborhoods intersect—and neighbors and friends connect to reflect on the past, celebrate today’s vibrant communities, and dream of a more just future.
At Touchstone Gallery you can create your own artwork based on the current exhibitions: unleaving and Lines Matter (all ages welcome but best for ages 3+).
After On the Square ends, join Touchstone from 4 - 7 pm for the exhibition reception of Lines Matter: The Stories They Tell by Debra Perkins and unleaving (to hold in mind what is and what was) by Dana Brotman. Enjoy a complimentary beverage while you explore the gallery and listen to live jazz music from Alex Martin (guitar) and Eugenio Ibarz (bass).
At the DC History Center (inside the Carnegie Library) listen in on pop-up talks in THE BIG PICTURE, examine resources in the Kiplinger Research Library, take a walking tour of the building or neighborhood, and get crafty in Memorial Hall.
