General Event Information & Schedule
Tenleytown Main Street kicks off Art All Night with a special performance of music and dance as we celebrate the power of the arts to connect across cultures and renew our community. Join us at the Art All Night Welcome Center (4404 Wisconsin Avenue) at 7:00 p.m. for a high-energy performance featuring the Wong People, CityDance Conservatory, and Sahara Dance.
Then take a walk around the town and enjoy art, music, dance, poetry, and more at 15 venues throughout the night. As you explore, keep an eye out for "Polyphemus's Garden West", an installation of 100 sculptural flowers along Wisconsin Avenue created by Theodore Carter – but hold off on picking these flowers until after 11 p.m. when you can take one home as a souvenir.
And be sure to look for Instagramable moments throughout the neighborhood; post your photos using the hashtag #dcartallnight and #lovetenley, and tag @TenleytownMS. Scroll down or click the links below for more details on this year's Art All Night
