NMWA Nights - October

Wednesday, October 21, from 5:30 to 8 pm

Join us for NMWA Nights, the monthly after-hours program at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.

A fun, inspiring, after-hours museum event filled with art and "craftivism", ie using handmade crafts to inspire social change. Enjoy a spotlight conversation with Cool Moms founder Elise Peterson and Well-Read Black Girl founder Glory Edim about how creativity can connect us across generations, honor those who came before, and inspire us today. Help create blankets for donation with Welcome Blanket, an organization that creates blankets for refugees and migrants — creating tangible crowd-sourced artistic action, while celebrating how our diverse, personal stories are woven into the fabric of what makes the U.S. great. Watch members of the DC Modern Quilt Guild build a community quilt. Rock out to a set of action-forward anthems from Les The DJ. Tour the exhibition Routed West, which encompasses 120 years of quilts by African Americans during and after the Second Great Migration.

Two drink tickets are included with admission. Both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options available. Additional beverages and food are available for purchase.

General admission: $25.
Students, seniors, DC residents: $22.
Museum Members: $20.
