Art lovers and night owls rejoice! In 2024, Art All Night is back and better than ever.
Presented by Mayor Muriel Bowser, Art All Night is an annual creative extravaganza that showcases the District’s diverse artistic talents. In the 13 years since Shaw Main Streets presented the first iteration, in 2011, Art All Night has flourished, expanding its reach across all of D.C.’s eight wards.
Programming for Art All Night 2024 will run from 7 p.m. to 3 a.m. (the following morning) on Friday evening, Sept. 27, and Saturday evening, Sept. 28.
“We know that Washington, D.C., is the capital of creativity,” said Mayor Bowser. “Artists and makers across D.C. help us celebrate the history and culture of our community, and this weekend, we celebrate them.”
Coordinated by Georgetown Main Street and sponsored by S&R Evermay, Martin’s Tavern, Clubhouse and Grosvenor, Georgetown’s fourth annual Art All Night celebration will take place on Sept. 27 along Wisconsin Avenue between N and R Streets. From 6 to 11 p.m., more than 200 performers and 20 businesses will fill the street with music, dancing, food, shopping and crafting.
“In just four years, Georgetown Art All Night has become one of the most iconic and memorable nights for the community,” said Georgetown Main Street Executive Director Rachel Shank. “The arts community of Georgetown is going to hit us with an event that is high energy along every block of Wisconsin Avenue. This is our most ambitious edition yet, with the most participating businesses and community organizations to date. It’s a night on the corridor that neighbors won’t want to miss.”
Over the evening, attendees can look forward to activities such as egg tempera painting, sneaker painting, country line dancing and cake decorating. Georgetown’s celebration will feature programming from familiar favorites and newcomers alike. Businesses returning to Art All Night this year include Shop Made in DC, Gallery Article 15, L’Enfant Gallery and the Book Hill galleries.
Meanwhile, Gallery 16ten, Duke Ellington School of the Arts, the Fillmore School and a pop-up gallery entitled BLK ALCHMY HOUSE will make their Art All Night debut in 2024.
