>> Construct: Space Transformed is a new project by the Cultural Development Corporation that put artwork in five storefronts in NoMa. Join them for an artwalk from 5 to 6 p.m. followed by a reception at 1100 First Street NE from 6 to 8 p.m. Free by RSVP required for artwalk. All pieces are visible from the sidewalk, so swing by to see them until January 5, including two more artwalks on November 5 and 19.
>> Addison/Ripley Fine Art has a new exhibit of photographs by James Osher in Three Seconds with the Masters. You might call his work a little meta, as it’s art that explores the nature of viewing art. See it during the opening reception Saturday, 5 to 7 p.m.
>> Tonight see Mortified, a collection of real cringe-worthy high school “artifacts” — journals, yearbooks, etc. — presented live at Town. $15, 8 p.m., 21 and over.
>> At the National Portrait Gallery, see the winners of the 2009 Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition starting this Friday. Winners of the once-every-three-year contest will be announced at a special reception tonight.
>> Reyes + Davis will have an opening for Barbara Joseph Liotta’s sculpture in Poseidon Project Part I this Friday, 6:30 to 9 p.m. The Phillips Collection continues their new contemporary art series by displaying Liotta’s portrait Icarus beginning tomorrow.
