The exhibition pairs images shot on iPhones with ones from more traditional cameras and raises interesting questions: What makes a photograph art? When is a camera not a camera? And what is the definition of "artist"? Sometimes it's easy.

Other times, it's a little more tricky. Torpedo Factory Art Center 105 N. Union St., Alexandria, VA | 703-838-4565

Washingtonians of all ages should know jazz music, what makes it special and its history. After all, this was the home of the great Duke Ellington and jazz is a very American sound. As part of the DC Jazz Festival, Phillips Collection will open its doors for two free days of music. Highlights include a performance by Boys & Girls Clubs of Washington with the Capitol Jazz Project (June 2 at 2 p.m.) and a talk with jazz pianist Kenny Barron about his life as an artist (June 3 at 4 p.m.). There will also be storytelling, face painting, and the chance to see and touch instruments up close at an instrument petting zoo. Phillips Collection 1600 21st St. NW, Washington, DC | 202-387-2151
