Enjoy this spring-like weather while you can and get out to some of the new exhibits around D.C. We’ve picked some of the highlights to help you decide which shows to visit.
>> This is the second week of the month and that means Friday is the Bethesda Art Walk, with free guided tours to 15 Bethesda art galleries beginning at 7 p.m. Attendees can meet their guide at the Bethesda Metro Center, located at the corner of Old Georgetown Road and Wisconsin Avenue. Meet the artists and enjoy food, refreshments and wines at the galleries. Free and open to the public; every second Friday of the month from 6-9 p.m.

Lennox Campello of DC Art News (and DCist contributor) as well as Michael Costello, Malik Lloyd, Drew Parris, Kris Kuksi, Javier Gil, Zygimantas Augustinas, Andrew Devlin, Drew Parris, Adam Bradley, Richard Dana, and more.
