It’s the week that collectors and galleries from around the world descend upon blindingly white, art deco Miami Beach to show what’s being made currently in the contemporary art world, and to sell and purchase millions of dollars worth of work. Last week, D.C. galleries were [...]

It’s Halloween in DC

As if the Renaissance Festival and High Heel Race weren’t enough fantasy, Friday night finally kicked off Halloween weekend for real.  Reaction to the Night of the Living Zoo from its full-time residents, especially in the Great Ape House, is perhaps one of confusion, but the giant tortoises in the Reptile House didn’t seem to mind.
