The Friday Openings
No lame excuses tonight... time to go see an art show!
Second Fridays belong to Bethesda, where the Bethesda Art Walk takes place, now with two separate free guided tours.
These are the Bethesda art venues that participate. Most of the artists are present, openings are catered and it is all free - 6-9pm.
Elsewhere, if you want to stay in the District, then Zenith has an opening honoring the 25th anniversary of neon art (congrats Margery!). From 6-8pm.
Across the street, Touchstone also has an opening of Sonya A. Lawyer's photographs from 6-8:30pm.
We will host the Bethesda International Photography Competition, juried and curated by Connie Imboden and featuring the work of 27 photographers from around the nation and the world.
Imboden will do a gallery talk at 7pm and then award the competition's cash and exhibition prizes.
See ya there!

Heading North
I'm driving back to DC on Thursday night... more later. Loads of great openings this coming Friday in Bethesda (see DCist).
If you are a photography fan, then you'll enjoy the 27 photographers selected by Connie Imboden, who curated the 2005 Bethesda International Photography Competition. Imboden selected about 40 photographs from over 1,000 submitted for her review.
The opening reception starts at 6PM at Fraser Bethesda, and Imboden will discuss the selected works and award the prizes at 7PM. Join us this coming Friday!
