Our first week in our new diggs so we crossed the street to see the Philips Gallery for the first time since moving to DC. During the summer they do a networking event on the first thursday of every month called Philips After 5 where the museum is open late, food and a cash bar are provided, and various forms of live entertainment are on display along with the artwork. Rather than pay admission for two at an event we hope to be able to attend regularly, we opted instead for the annual membership.
We missed out on a dramatic reading of Yasmina Reza, but caught a local craft distillery tasting of their absinthe and Gin, the barbeque by Geppetto catering (which was excellent) and the jazz by Potomac Jazz Project. We only caught the end of the evening (about an hour) so briefly walked through some of the rooms to see the artwork on display. What a great eclectic collection complete with Van Gogh, Degas, and Picasso. In fact it is somewhat fascinating to be drinking a cocktail and eating dinner with a great master hanging a few feet away.
We look forward to attending regularly. In August, we have heard it moves to every thursday.
