Tenleytown Main Street kicks off Art All Night with a special performance of music and dance from around the world as we celebrate the power of the arts to transform and transport you. Join us at the Metro Plaza (Wisconsin Ave & Albemarle St) at 7:00 p.m.
Then, follow our performers along Wisconsin Avenue as they herald the start of the arts festival, passing Tenleytown’s art and performance venues. The procession ends back at the Metro, but your art journey is just beginning! Enjoy art, music, dance, poetry, theater, and more at 14 venues throughout the night. And look for amazing chalk art creations by Rajan Sedalia in front of the Container Store and along Tenleytown’s sidewalks as you explore Art All Night.
