| |  | | |  National Museum of Women in the Arts The National Museum of Women in the Arts (NMWA) is the only major museum in the world solely dedicated to championing women through the arts. NMWA brings recognition to the achievements of women artists of all periods and nationalities by exhibiting, preserving, acquiring, and researching art by women and by teaching the public about their accomplishments. The museum addresses the gender imbalance in the presentation of art by bringing to light important women artists of the past while promoting great women artists working today. A current exhibit, Magnetic Fields: Expanding American Abstraction, 1960s to Today, for the first time, places abstract works by multiple generations of black women artists in context with one another, and within the larger history of abstract art. Featuring work by twenty-one artists born between 1891 and 1981, the show comprises evocative prints, unconventional sculptures, and monumental paintings that reveal the artists' role as under-recognized leaders in abstraction. A number of the artists have close ties to the DC area. See the exhibit now through January 21. | |  | |  MOSAIC: Moments & Methods An avid photographer since college, BD Richardson has won national and international photography awards. This exhibit represents many decades and moods of a life behind the camera lens. The work features several continents, from Paris to Peru to Poolesville, depicting the iconic as well as the everyday. This exhibit is on display at Touchstone Gallery until January 28. | |  1968: Civil Rights at 50 This exhibit at the Newseum explores the events that shaped the civil rights movement in 1968. Explore the tragic events through stunning photography and interactive elements. Learn about the assassinations of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Sen. Robert F. Kennedy through the images and news artifacts that highlight the landmark events of the year. 1968: Civil Rights at 50 examines the relationship between the First Amendment and the civil rights movement in the 1960s. The exhibit opens Friday, January 12. | |  On Your Feet! From their humble beginnings in Cuba, Emilio and Gloria Estefan came to America and broke through all barriers to become a crossover sensation at the very top of the pop music world. But just when they thought they had it all, they almost lost everything. On Your Feet! at the Kennedy Center takes you inside their real-life story, with some of the most iconic songs of the past quarter century.
