The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. hosted its popular 'NGA Nights' series, featuring a 'Garden Party' theme that blended paper flower crafting with after-hours gallery access. The upcoming April event, 'United We Create,' shifts focus to the West Building to highlight five centuries of American creativity as part of the 'Celebrating American Art' exhibition and the broader America250 celebrations.
In nearby Alexandria, the local art community gathered at Nepenthe Gallery to honor the legacy of the late artist and gallerist Robert F. Murray. The memorial salon featured a massive collection of Murray’s work spanning seven decades, with proceeds from art sales benefiting Gonzaga High School, illustrating the deep connection between regional artists and local philanthropic efforts.
