Art All Night returns to Tenleytown live and in person
Saturday, September 25th, 7pm-midnight!
Join Tenleytown Main Street as we celebrate the arts as a catalyst for community, connection, and renewal. Public and private spaces throughout Tenleytown will transform into pop-up galleries and performance stages to welcome more than 150 visual and performing artists from across the DC Metro Area. Experience art, music, dance, poetry, film, and more at 15 Art All Night venues throughout Tenleytown. There’s something for art lovers of all ages and backgrounds to enjoy. And the best part? It’s all FREE to attend!
