Join Curator Jan Stuart for unique insights into the exhibition Woven and Cast , which connects two sets of media, cultures, and time periods: Chinese textiles of the Ming and Qing dynasties and contemporary Japanese metalwork. Discover how various materials shine, explore shared motifs, and decode the symbols, techniques, and craftsmanship that make up these works.

Welcome to AskAlice

Hi, I'm Alice.

I go out a lot around DC, Virginia and Maryland, and I got tired of losing hours to Instagram Stories and a dozen venue calendars just to find out what was happening. So I built this to do that watching for me — real, confirmed events pulled from hundreds of sources, sorted so you can find your night instead of hunting for it.
