Happy Tuesday, friends!
As the month comes to a close, so do two of our offerings. Don't miss one of the final performances of Adventure Theatre's production of Junie B. Jones, The Musical, or the opportunity to walk through Photoworks' latest exhibition, Building a Mixed Race Community. The final Junie B. Jones show is Saturday at 2pm, and the Photoworks gallery closes Sunday at 4pm.
Whenever something is ending at the Park, something else is just beginning! A brand new social dance will be held on Saturday at 2pm: Cuban Salsa! Learn the basics and lose yourself in the music with the help of DC Casineros.
From 6pm - 8pm on Saturday, join a community of art admirers at the opening receptions for new Partnership Galleries exhibitions running March 30 - April 28. View masterful paintings in Popcorn Gallery by Yellow Barn Studio instructors, one-of-a-kind textile work in Stone Tower Gallery by Leigh Lambert, and layered abstract pieces by Lou Joseph in Park View Gallery.
