 Friday nights at Dupont Circle are always teaming. But along R Street and Connecticut Avenue, there's an added draw every first Friday of the month as area galleries appeal to new visitors. Possibly, it's a free offering of wine and snacks, but it's all part of a long-standing celebration of the area art scene. Boasting their latest exhibitions, Dupont art galleries keep their doors open from 6 to 8 each first Friday of the month. The festive tradition continues to draw a mingling of artists, art aficionados and curiosity seekers. The diverse gathering counts many young professionals among its ardent fans, but older patrons are regulars as well. Nearly all of the Dupont Circle galleries participate. Beginning on R Street, highlights include Gallery K, with its contemporary works, and Marsha Mateyka, home to an impressive roster of artists. Also on R, the basement dwellings attract visitors with modern and postmodern masters at Robert Brown Gallery and African art at Affrica. On Connecticut Avenue, America Oh, Yes! displays the latest works by self-taught artists; while the Kathleen Ewing Gallery focuses on a century of photographic greats. Conner Contemporary takes on some of the boldest shows in town and Washington Printmakers shows off the local look at the print media.
