From Hillwood:
“On August 5, Hillwood comes to life in our extended hours program! Join us for a summer evening featuring art, live music, art-making, and more.
See the exhibition Interwoven: A Tradition in Textiles to discover beautiful and extraordinary works of textile art. Engage with the exhibition’s curator. Listen to high-energy live performances by The JoGo Project, led by saxophonist Elijah Jamal Balbed, as they perform an award-winning blend of jazz and DC’s own go-go music. Create your own no-sew embroidery collage inspired by the textiles in the exhibition. Enjoy the rare opportunity to self-guide through the mansion, greenhouse, and gardens in the evening light. Try delicious drinks and food specials (for purchase) at Merriweather Café.
This event will take place rain or shine!
