January 19, 2022 @ 10:00am | Caroline Cliona Boyle

As we approach the end of 2022’s first month and head towards the (hopefully not) February slump, there’s plenty of time to keep up with all that the District has to offer. This weekend, tap into your artistic side and indulge in an equally social and meditative paint and play, absorb the flavors of the local art scene at an exhibition opening and listen to the spoken word artists who traverse the DMV’s poetry scene. 

1.20

Paint and Play
Whether you’re a beginner or a paint aficionado, come out and enjoy a wonderful evening of fun, paint and therapy. Paint Amore welcomes you and your circle to a night of flavor, fun, and artistic excitement as we invite you to take a ride to a painter’s paradise. Come enjoy freestyle painting, fluid (pour) painting and more. 7-9 p.m. $25+. DCI: 924 H St. NE, DC; paintamore.com // @ipaintamore

Joseph Shetler: “In Pursuit of Nothing”
“In Pursuit of Nothing” is a tongue-in-cheek reference to the fundamental right “pursuit of happiness” asserted in the Declaration of Independence. In this exhibition opening at Culture House, post-minimalist artist Joseph Shetler observes that the pursuit of happiness in modern society is quite often distorted into the pursuit of wealth and ultimately rejects this equivocation. 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. Free. Culture House: 700 Delaware Ave. SW, DC; culturehousedc.org // @culturehousedc 

Drink the District Wine Festival Winter Edition
The winter edition of the Drink the District Wine Festival is a wine tasting, with a wide variety of wines to sample. While you’re tasting your way through the festival don’t forget to check out our catered specialty cheese and charcuterie packages available and support local small businesses in our artisan market. 2 p.m. $69-$99. Hook Hall: 3400 Georgia Ave. NW, DC; hookhall.com // @hookhall_dc

Shady Pines 80s Rooftop Tea Dance
Strap on those leg warmers, parachute pants, jelly shoes and shoulder pads and pull up to the bumper for a total eclipse of the heart at the Shady Pines 80s Rooftop Tea Dance. DJ Matt Bailer (Peach Pit, Mixtape, La Boum Brunch, Pitchers) will be providing the soundtrack for the afternoon, taking the Delorean farther back than his usual Peach Pit 90s fare and digging up unforgettable hits and a few forgotten gems from the days of Ms. Pac-Man, Rubik’s Cubes and Cabbage Patch Kids. 4 p.m. Free. DC9: 1940 9th St. NW, DC; dc9.club // @dc9club

Trap Poetry at Privilege DC
Trap Poetry is a spoken word event where artists and individuals alike who love art come to catch a vibe. Featured artists include the DMV’s very own BackPack Jeff, Bway, Jusme, Philly’s Own The Poet Boul, Richmond Finest Khalil Houston and Matt Capone. 6-10 p.m. $10+. Privilege DC: 1115 U St. NW, Suite A, DC; privilegedc.com //@privilegeloungedc
