RCC: Family Fun Entertainment Series - Saturday's thru August 4 Reston Community Center's Family Fun Entertainment Series includes puppet shows, magic shows and concerts at Reston Town Square Park, at the corner of Market and Explorer Streets. Every Saturday thru August 4. Check schedule here. Black Out: Silhouettes Then and Now Thru Sunday, March 10, 2019 Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery Washington, DC Silhouettes cut paper profiles were a hugely popular and democratic form of portraiture in the 19th century, offering virtually instantaneous likenesses of everyone from presidents to those who were enslaved. The exhibition Black Out: Silhouettes Then and Now explores this relatively unstudied art form by examining its rich historical roots and considering its forceful contemporary presence. The show features works from the Portrait Gallery s extensive collection of silhouettes, such as those by Auguste Edouart, who captured the likenesses of such notable figures as John Quincy Adams and Lydia Maria Child, and at the same time, the exhibition reveals how contemporary artists are reimagining silhouettes in bold and unforgettable ways.
