Thanks to Martha for sharing: “A new modern art museum in D.C. opens to the public this weekend – the Rubell Museum – and it’s free to District residents!”
From the Mayor’s Office:
“The Rubell Museum DC, which will open to the public on Saturday, October 29, will have exhibits that include contemporary paintings, sculptures, photographs, videos, and site-specific work by local, national, and international artists. District residents will receive free admission to the museum and Ward 6 residents will be provided with expanded opportunities to engage with artists. The 32,000-square-foot museum will also feature public programming, flexible activation spaces, a bookstore, and a café with indoor and outdoor dining.
The museum, located at 65 I Street SW, is housed in the historic former Randall School, which was built in 1906 as a school for African American children. The adaptive reuse of the former school into a museum preserves an important DC landmark and brings it back to life as a public resource. Another part of the redevelopment, adjacent to the museum, is Gallery 64 – which will deliver 492 apartments, including 98 affordable units, in early 2023.”
