Eimear McBride reads from her novel A Girl is a Half-formed Thing. "Eimear McBride's debut tells, with astonishing insight and in brutal detail, the story of a young woman's relationship with her brother, and the long shadow cast by his childhood brain tumor. Not so much a stream of consciousness, as an unconscious railing against a life that makes little sense, and a shocking and intimate insight into the thoughts, feelings and chaotic sexuality of a vulnerable and isolated protagonist, to read A Girl is a Half-formed Thing is to plunge inside its narrator's head, experiencing her world first-hand. This isn't always comfortable - but it is always a revelation."

"Touching on everything from family violence to sexuality and the personal struggle to remain intact in times of intense trauma, McBride writes with singular intensity, acute sensitivity and mordant wit. A Girl is a Half-formed Thing is moving, funny - and alarming. It is a book you will never forget."

"Not House Music. Music at Houses"
3:00pm - 7:00pm

Neighborhood music festival in Adams Morgan this Saturday. Enjoy free, live music on the front stoops and porches of Adams Morgan residents at Porch Fest, held in partnership with Cultural Tourism DC's Art4All program. Maps will be available on the day of the event at an information booth located at 18 Street and Columbia Road, NW.
"It may never be easier to get up close and personal with the musical talent of Washington than at the second annual Adams Morgan PorchFest when the front porches of homes and a few local businesses are transformed into intimate performance spaces to be enjoyed by anyone who happens to stroll by."
Inspired by similar PorchFest events across the country aimed at creating a family friendly, neighborhood-based alternative to the nightclub music scene, Adams Morgan's version will span an eclectic range of styles and will transform the porches of over 15 Adams Morgan homes into "stages for a day" so you can follow your ears around the community, sampling local musical talent from Brass Connection to members of the National Symphony Orchestra. All free. Family friendly.

Read more about the artist, Mark
Parascandola. The exhibition will feature approximately ten prints from the artist’s current project, La Chanca: Living on the Margin. The photographs will be accompanied by a video revealing the shifting patterns and juxtapositions that unfold through the neighborhood’s narrow, winding streets. La Chanca is a historically impoverished zone made up of small dwellings built into the hillside on the outskirts of the city of Almería in southern Spain. The inhabitants painted their homes using whatever ingredients were available, resulting in a multicolored patchwork. Over the years, the zone has attracted writers, artists, and photographers inspired by its unique urban structure and cultural mix. Read more about the exhibit here. Gallery Hours: Fridays and Saturdays 11:00am - 6:00pm and by appointment.

James Baldwin: The Price of the Ticket

| James Baldwin and Marlon Brando at Civil Rights March in DC 08/28/1963. U.S. Information Agency. Press and Publications Service |
Now considered a documentary film classic, The Price of the Ticket (view trailer and read more) (Karen Thorsen, 1990, 87 minutes) has been restored with the help of the Ford Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts in honor of Baldwin’s 90th birthday! See a biographical timeline on Baldwin here. Produced in association with Maysles Films and PBS/American Masters, The Price of the Ticket premiered in 1990 at Sundance and went on to win numerous awards at home and abroad. An emotional portrait, a social critique, and a passionate plea for human equality, its extensive vérité footage allows Baldwin to tell his own story: exploring what it means to be born black, impoverished, gay, and gifted in a world that has yet to understand that "all men are brothers." "On-camera witnesses" include the late Maya Angelou (she reads passages from the authors writings), Amiri Baraka, David Leeming, Bobby Short, and William Styron.

Evening - Illustrated Lecture Art Deco Art & Architecture at The Arts Club - Farragut West
The Art Deco Murals of Hildreth Meiere
6:30pm
Art and architectural historian Kathleen Murphy Skolnick will present an illustrated lecture, beginning at 7:00pm, on the work of Hildreth Meière (1892-1961), one of the most talented and prolific but largely unknown American muralists of the first half of the 20th century. Skolnik is co-author with Catherine Coleman Brawer of The Art Deco Murals of Hildreth Meière, published this past May. During her 40-year career, Meière completed approximately 100 commissions. "An unsung heroine of Art Deco art and architecture, Ms. Meiere is the artist behind many of the most spectacular murals of the first half of the twentieth century. The dynamic roudels of Dance, Drama and Song at Radio City Music Hall, the shimmering glass mosaics in St. Bartholomew's Church, an altar at St. Patrick's Cathedral, the glistening red mosaic walls at One Wall Street, and the rich designs at the National Academy of Sciences and elsewhere are all the work of Meiere, a central figure in American decorative art." Books will be available for purchase and signing following the presentation.

To celebrate the opening of the exhibition Richard Estes’ Realism on view on the first floor of the American Art Museum from October 10, 2014 - February 8, 2015, exhibition curator Patterson Sims will discuss the life and work of Richard Estes, followed by a conversation with the artist this Friday, October 10th in the museum’s McEvoy Auditorium.
Richard Estes is considered the foremost practitioner of the international group of artists known loosely as photorealists and has been celebrated for more than forty-five years as the premier painter of American cityscapes. Richard Estes’ Realism is the most comprehensive exhibition of Estes’ paintings ever organized. A master of contemporary realism, Estes is primarily known as a painter of urban scenes. The exhibition features forty-six paintings spanning a fifty-year career, including a number of works from private collections that are rarely seen publically. The exhibition also shows, for the first time, Estes’ panoramic landscape paintings and water scenes alongside his more famous cityscapes, offering new insights into Estes’ particular vision.
