“Hirshhorn Howl-O-Ween
October 29, 2022 | 10:00 am-11:30 am
Registration closes Friday, Oct. 28!
The Hirshhorn is hosting its annual Howl-o-ween, Saturday Oct. 29, 10 am-11:30am. Join us with your well-behaved costumed dog for a morning of dress-up and art in the Hirshhorn’s outdoor Sculpture Garden. Advance registration is required.
Attendees are invited to strut their stuff with their pooches in our parade and enter creative contest.
We’ve gathered a panel of local puppy-lovers to judge the contest and awarded in three categories: “Pup-ular Choice,” “Dynamic Duo” and “Art Unleashed” (details below). Our friend Jason Barnes aka “Mx. Noir” will emcee the proceedings. The “ulti-mutt” Halloween event for art lovers is also the one time each year when leashed dogs are welcome in our Sculpture Garden.
Hirshhorn Howl-O-Ween supports the Hirshhorn’s free-for-all art educational programs. The event is silly not scary and suitable for guests of all ages who love dogs in costumes.
District Dogs will oversee activities for our furriest friends including an art-making challenge for just for dogs: peanut butter “paw-traits.”
Kids are encouraged to join in the fun with “Suspending Scary Sculptures,” an art-making activity inspired by Eva Hesse’s 1966 artwork, Vertiginous Detour on view in “Put It This Way.”
Bowie Shoots will be on hand to snap doggie portraits in a seasonal step-and-sit-and-stay-and-repeat.
Les the DJ will keep the party popping.

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
