This public-art exhibition features layers upon layers of artistic interventions tucked in among Gadsby's exhibits. Gadsby's Tavern Museum\, open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.\, is located at 143 N. Royal St. in Historic O ld Town Alexandria. Artist-led tours will be offered at 11 am\, 2 pm\, and 4 pm.\n\n \nOn July 15\, artists Stewart Watson and Lauren Frances Adams will talk about how they created the artworks on display throughout the mu seum. Register for a free ticket to secure a spot for this one hour tour b ehind the scenes with the artists via https://shop.alexandriava.gov/Events .aspx. \n\n \nUsing video\, furniture\, stoneware\, embroidery\, textiles\ , and other domestic items\, the archival becomes interactive. Baltimore-b ased Watson and Adams created this work based on extensive research into t he 18th and 19th centuries and used that visual vocabulary to create a who lly modern body of work. The exhibition features more than two dozen inter ventions that highlight the women\, enslaved peoples\, and anonymous citiz ens whose stories haven't yet been told.\n\n \nHistorically inspired ephem era positioned throughout the museum takes on new modern contexts. For exa mple\, a traditionally made stoneware vessel references Twitter in its cob alt blue inscription and houses a video that shows some of the artists' re search. A Chippendale chair has been converted to a bicycle to reflect the career of one of John Gadsby's descendants\, an urban planner in Philadel phia.\n\n \nEven with a careful eye\, it requires more than one visit to t ake in all the details Adams and Watson incorporated into the work. The fr ont page of an 1817 Alexandria Gazette has been incorporated into the upho lstery for one of the chairs in the public dining room. It gives a glimpse into life in Alexandria 200 years ago\, 44 years before the Civil War.\n\ n \nCentennial of the Everyday is part of the Office of the Arts' Time & P lace series\, a public-art program that explores the intersection of conte mporary art with Alexandria's rich and multifaceted history. The goal of t his compelling project is to foster exploration and dialogue about our reg ion's history and its continued reverberations within our community today. \n\n \nFollow #TimeandPlaceALX to join the conversation online.\n\n \nFor more information\, visit the Office of the Arts' Time & Place or www.alexa ndriava.gov/Arts. \n\n \nThe City of Alexandria is committed to compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

The lack of revenue from performances\, classes and exhibitions has led to critical financial problems for the arts. Most artists and org anizations have had to cancel seasons and indoor events for the foreseeabl e future\, transitioning to smaller\, outdoor events and virtual presentat ions.\n\n"We knew as the weather gets colder\, gathering will become more challenging\," says Alexandria Arts Alliance Board President Melinda Kernc . "There is amazing and inspirational art happening all around us\, and we want Alexandria residents to experience it\, even if they are staying hom e. These artists and arts organizations desperately need support from the community they serve so well. This entertaining\, collaborative showcase p rovides a way to ensure the arts will emerge strong when the pandemic subs ides."\n\nHomegrown Restaurant Group will donate 10% from all take-out ord ers mentioning ACT 4 #ArtsALX on the evening of the event.

Parisienne \n\nIn commemoration of the 250th annive rsary of the Marquis de Lafayette's 1824-25 tour of the United States\, en joy a lecture/concert of music from Lafayette's lifetime performed on earl y 19th-century instruments. Join researchers and historical-performance sp ecialists Dominic Giardino (historical clarinets) and Dr. Chris Troiano (s erpent) to experience the music that underscored Lafayette's French Revolu tionary career. The Age of Revolutions (1775-1848) was a period of social\ , political\, and cultural turbulence in Europe and the Americas. There wa s perhaps no greater witness to this era of dramatic change than Gilbert d u Motier\, Marquis de Lafayette. This lecture/performance\, with Lafayette 's leadership of the Garde Nationale Parisienne as the focal point\, will transport listeners to the desperate but optimistic early days of the Fren ch Revolution when music left the aristocratic great rooms of Versailles a nd poured onto the streets of Paris. \n\nAbout the Performers\nBased in Wi lliamsburg\, VA\, historical clarinetist Dominic Giardino enjoys a varied professional life exploring the intersections of history and performance. Dominic is the executive director of the Tucson-based concert series Arizo na Early Music\, develops music programming for the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation\, and is a member of Early Music America's board of directors. As a clarinetist\, he has recorded with the Smithsonian Chamber Players\, Three Notch'd Road: The Virginia Baroque Ensemble\, and Newberry's Victori an Cornet Band. Dominic earned his B.M. in performance at the Eastman Scho ol of Music\, and his M.M. in early music as a U.S. Fulbright Scholar in T he Hague\, where he studied with Eric Hoeprich.\n\nDr. Chris Troiano is th e Historical Ensembles Program Manager at George Mason University in Fairf ax\, VA and is the Program Director of the 8th Green Machine Regiment Band \, a mid-19th century brass band that performs music of the American Civil War on period brass instruments. Chris is also the co-host of the Early A merican Brass Band Podcast\, a podcast focusing on sharing research and pe rformances of brass bands from 1835-2023.
