Kogod Courtyard at National Portrait Gallery
Get cultured, get creative and get down at America Now.
Join us for a free night of music with a Grammy-award-winning musician, a sought after DJ and a chance to pose in Manual Cinema's silhouette photo booth.
International DJ Adrian Loving spins old and new tunes from the American songbook including Hip Hop, Funk, House, Rock and Blues. He has been able to synthesize his love and passion for music to create sonic experiences on the dance floor.
Grammy Award winning cellist, Leyla McCalla, leads The Leyla McCalla Trio. They will fill the soaring Kogod Courtyard with their distinct blend of Jazz, Cajun, Creole and Folk music.
Strike a pose and take home a photo from the most unique photo booth you've ever experienced. Create your shot with the artist collective Manual Cinema. Make a silhouette snapshot on a backdrop you select.
Beer, wine and snacks will be available at the Courtyard Café. Washington Post points members get a store and cafe discount for the night.
